Israeli Conspiracies

On Friday there was a report that the FBI was looking into a possible Israeli spy at the Pentagon. David Frum debunks that investigation.

Discussing policy options with knowledgeable people – and even with allied governments – is not “espionage.”

Which is why, after 18 months of investigation, the investigators were about to drop the matter. It looks as if whoever leaked the story of the investigation leaked it precisely because he or she was annoyed that the investigators were concluding that the whole thing was much ado about nothing.

But by cleverly shopping it to journalists who were eager to strike a blow at the Bush administration, a fizzle of a story was (at least temporarily) transformed into a one-day wonder.

Yet again, we see not only a flagrant media bias, but also the undercurrent of the Left anti-semitism that seeks "proof" to expose that the vast right wing conspiracy is led, "Protocols of Zion"-like by a vast Jewish neo-con cabal.
