Break on the Franklin/AIPAC spy ring

Also a significant shift on the Fanklin/AIPAC spying ring.

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (AP) -- A Pentagon analyst charged with providing classified information to an Israeli official and members of a pro-Israeli lobbying group will plead guilty, the U.S. District Court clerk's office said Thursday.

Lawrence A. Franklin, 58, of Kearneysville, West Virginia, was indicted in June on charges of leaking classified materials -- including information about potential attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq -- to two members of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and an Israeli official.

Edward Adams, a spokesman for U.S. District Court clerk in Alexandria, said a hearing to accept Franklin's guilty plea has been scheduled for Wednesday. The charge or charges to which he would enter the plea were not disclosed. Franklin was indicted on five counts.

Remember your history on this one. Originally, Franklin had made a deal with the prosecuters whereby he would name names, and outline the whole scheme. Then, when the thing became public with the placed leak to CBS, within days, Franklin changed his plea, stopped cooperating, and was suddely represented by a lawyer waaaayyyy above his pay grade.

In other words, the investigation was leaked to the press so someone up the chain could learn he was implicating Rosen, Weissman, and by connection, the AIPAC operations in Washington. They hired him a great lawyer on the condition that he "lawyer up."

So, why now, why today does he suddenly decide to plead guilty?

This will be buried by the other scandals in the news today, Delay's indictment and Miller's release. Is that the idea, to swamp the news with so much scandal, that no one will have time to look into all three?

As much as I'd like to see Delay go down, that's merely a case of election finance fraud.

Miller's release, and the Plame case, are intergral parts to the lying of America into war. And the AIPAC scandal is the presence of an Israeli intel op penetrating deep into the DoD.

These are far bigger issues than Delay, so don't get caught up in the partisan he said/she said. Keep in mind that this administration lied us into a war, and was penetrated by Israeli intelligence agents. This is this administration's true betrayal of our country.
