AIPAC scandal indictments

This is significant in regard to the rush to war. Many allegations have been made that the flow of information did not just flow out of the Pentagon through Franklin, but also back in to Feith's outfit, the Office of Special Plans, which "stovepiped" intelligence onto Cheney's desk. This is one of the mechanisms through which bad intelligence was supplied to create a case for the war.

The new indictment charges Steven Rosen, formerly AIPAC's policy director, with illegally receiving classified information from Franklin and with illegally helping Franklin pass on written classified information.

The indictment also charges Keith Weissman, AIPAC's former senior Middle East analyst, with illegally receiving classified information.
