Does the FBI hate Israel?
The Jerusalem Post is reporting that the FBI set up the American Israeli Public Affairs Comittee (AIPAC) in the "Franklin Affair" in which AIPAC was accused of transferring classified information to Israel.
FBI agents used a courier, Pentagon analyst Larry Franklin, to draw two senior AIPAC officials who already knew him into accepting what he described to them as "classified" information, reliable government and other sources intimately familiar with the investigation have told the Post.
One of the AIPAC pair then told diplomats at the Israeli Embassy in Washington about the "classified" information, which claimed Iranians were monitoring and planning to kidnap and kill Israelis operating in the Kurdish areas in northern Iraq, the Post has been told.
It is unclear whether the "classified" information was real or bogus.
I wonder if this is some kind of back door effort to keep Jonathan Pollard in prison despite serving a sentence quite out of proportion to sentences usual in cases like his?
