April 20, 2005- AIPAC ( American Israel Public Affairs Committee ) dismissed two of it's employees that were caught up in a Federal investigation of possible Israeli spying in th U S . AIPAC fired it's policy director, Steven Rosen, and it's senior Iran analyst Keith Weissman. Officials said the two former employees knew Lawrence A. Franklin, a Defense Department Analyst ( Iran specialist ) who is suspected of giving them classified information that was subsequently supplied to Israel. Mr Franklin was cooperating with authorities since September, 2004 but has suddenly stopped . Oddly he was brought back to work at the Pentagon on nonclassified jobs. I wonder if he promised not to access classified information?
I have never heard of AIPAC being politically forced to let operatives go. Hopefully the feds won't let this investigation be suffocated by the higher-ups in the White House and Congress.
AIPAC is the most powerful lobby in America. It represents a foreign country but has 65,000 members and 50 PACS across America.
Israel and America don't have to share a common destiny.
