Rice, Hadley subpoenas resisted in AIPAC case
August 31, 2007
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and senior intelligence officials
should not be forced to testify about whether they discussed
classified information with pro-Israel lobbyists, federal prosecutors
argued in a closed-door court hearing yesterday.
Two former American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) lobbyists
facing espionage charges have subpoenaed Miss Rice, National Security
Adviser Stephen J. Hadley, Deputy National Security Adviser Elliott
Abrams and several others to testify at their trial next year.
If their testimony is allowed by U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III,
the trial could offer a behind-the-scenes look at the way U.S. foreign
policy is crafted.
Although Judge Ellis closed yesterday's hearing to the public, the
government's opposition to the subpoenas was outlined on a court
calendar entry.
Documents filed by attorneys for lobbyists Steven Rosen and Keith
Weissman argue that the Israeli interest group played an unofficial
but sanctioned role in crafting foreign policy and that Rice and
others can confirm it.
"In other words, they'll tell us that back-channel disclosures are an
everyday common practice?" Judge Ellis asked in a hearing last year
during a rare public discussion of the issue.
That argument is a key to the defense.
The lobbyists are accused of receiving classified information from a
now-convicted Pentagon official and relaying it to an Israeli official
and the press. The information included details about the al Qaeda
terrorist network, U.S. police in Iran and the 1996 bombing of the
Khobar Towers dormitory in Saudi Arabia, federal prosecutors said.
But defense attorneys suggested that top U.S. officials regularly used
the lobbyists as a go-between as they crafted Middle East policy. If
so, attorneys say, how are Mr. Rosen and Mr. Weissman supposed to know
the same behavior that's expected of them on one day is criminal the
next?
Federal prosecutors have said little in public about why Miss Rice and
others should not have to testify. Miss Rice, who previously served as
President Bush's national security adviser, "never gave national
defense information to Mr. Rosen, doesn't even remember him,"
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin DiGregory said.
The list of Bush administration figures subpoenaed in the case include
former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage; Iraq adviser David
Satterfield; William Burns, U.S. ambassador to Russia; and retired
Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni. The list also includes Kenneth Pollack, who
served on the National Security Council during the Clinton
administration.
Judge Ellis closed the courtroom yesterday because it involved
classified information. Court security officers barred a reporter from
the hallway near the courtroom.
The judge was not expected to rule yesterday and, when he does, his
reasoning may not be made public. Trial is set for Jan. 14.

A former Defense Department official, Lawrence A. Franklin, already has
pleaded guilty to providing Rosen and Weissman with classified defense
information. Franklin was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison.

Cioe' l'unico *VERO* evento di spionaggio riconosciuto e condannato.

Appunto.   Ci vorrebbe uno come Di Pietro (o, meglio, G. Falcone)
perche' va oltre questi ragionamenti da avvocato mafioso.
Ed e' un campo dove l'Italia ha qualcosa da insegnare agli USA, visto
che quel paese ha un bisogno disperato di qualcuno che faccia sentire
il tintinnar di manette alla classe dirigente.

sentire il tintinnar di manette alla classe dirigente.
Forse meglio che "il tintinnar di manette" lo facciano sentire a certi
fascisti come te, caro Torrieri.

 fascisti come te, caro Torrieri.

perchè è una legge del paese e quindi va rispettata...
E il rispetto della legge e' funzione o meno dell'approvazione della
