Did Israelis Leak New Spy Info to Thwart War?
April 24, 2008 in Iran, Israel by Scott Horton | 6 comments
Over at the American Conservative magazine’s blog, Antiwar.com columnist
and former CIA officer Philip Giraldi reports that Israeli sources have
indicated to him that the recent leak to the FBI about the new-old Israeli
spy case came from inside the Israeli government toward the end of
thwarting Ehud Olmert, Dick Cheney and the War Party’s plans to expand the
Middle Eastern slaughter to Iran – and that there are more spies to be
revealed…
Israeli sources are reporting that the FBI investigation of the Ben-Ami
Kadish spy case resulted from a leak coming from inside the government of
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. …
[Yosef] Yagur, who is now retired and living in Israel, was Kadish’s case
officer, handling the cases of both him and Jonathan Pollard. Before the
anonymous leak of information, the FBI had no idea that Kadish had been a
spy for Israel. Now it is investigating a number of US citizens, including
an individual who held very senior security positions in the Clinton and
Bush White Houses.
How many different people fit the definition, “an individual who held very
senior security positions in the Clinton and Bush White Houses”? Can’t be
too many… More to the point, why would the Israeli government do such a
thing as out their own agents (albeit past ones) to the FBI? According to
Giraldi,
The leak of the information at the present time is believed to be linked
to proposed closed congressional hearings at the end of this month in
which the White House had planned to use several Israeli intelligence
officers to provide evidence on the alleged Syrian nuclear program that
was bombed on September 6, 2007. It is now unlikely that Israeli
intelligence officers will allow themselves to be questioned because they
would almost certainly be asked about Israeli spying on the US. Vice
President Dick Cheney and Olmert had apparently planned on using the
congressional briefings as a launch pad to intensify diplomatic and
military pressure against both Syria and Iran. It is believed that the
“doves” in the Olmert administration who leaked the information are
seeking to make a military confrontation more difficult and are hoping
that negotiations, particularly with Syria, will instead take place.
According to the LA Times, these Congressional hearings about the bogus
Syria-North Korea Plutonium factory were meant by the neocons at the
American Enterprise Institute to be a simple “box-checking exercise,” on
the great clipboard of war in the words of AEI vice-warmonger and Ahmad
Chalabi champion, Danielle Pletka.
Gareth Porter’s new article explains how the installation of General
Petraeus as Royal Viceroy over the Middle East and Central Asia helps
smooth the road to war. Perhaps the new and forthcoming spy revelations
will help push the scales back the other way.

Mi sembrava un caso strano, infatti.
La tesi dell'articolo sembra credibile, un po' meno quando accredita una 
fonte all'interno dell'amministrazione Olmert come causa della 
diffusione delle notizie su Kadish.
Credevo probabile che a compiere un'azione del genere potesse essere 
stata un'agenzia statunitense.
