Bush advisor Richard Perle and his dual loyalty:

=====================================================

According to Seymour Hersh's book, The Price of Power on page 322:

In mid-October 1970, [Henry] Kissinger testified, when a second wiretap
was authorized for Helmut Sonnenfeldt, who was Kissinger's closest friend
on the NSC [National Security Council] staff, his role was even more
tangential.... Richard N. Perle, a foreign policy aide to Senator Jackson,
was overheard discussing classified information that had been supplied to
him by someone on the National Security Council Staff..... Kissinger -
perhaps seeking to ward off a Nixon explosion - handed him (Haldeman)
the FBI wiretap on the Israeli embassy and requested that the FBI be
assigned to determine which NSC staff member was in contact with
Richard Perle... Kissinger had to know that Hoover and Haldeman would
suspect Sonnenfeldt, who was known from previous wiretaps to have close
ties to the Israelis as well as Perle.

So that's what this may be all about. Hersh blew the whistle on Perle's passing of classified information to the Israelis thirty years ago. Isn't passing classified information on to a foreign government a crime?
