CBS News: Spy in the Pentegon was trading secret documents to ..

[xyboymil]

Isreal and may have seriously influenced the decision to go to war in Iraq as well as negatively influencing the Iran conflict!!!

I am sorry I do not have a link. It was the lead story on the CBS News.

The "mole" is a top senior Pentegon official with access to top-secret materials.

Gee...I wonder how Bush and Rumsfeld to try and spin this. :puke:

1. Chalabi?

2. Perle?

[xyboymil]

4. No not him...

This was apparently a "high-ranking" member of the Pentegon and the FBI is "wrapping up" the investigation and will announce the arrest.

This will make all the national news next week.

LOL: I'd love if this totally overshadows the RNC next week!

[alcuno]

18. They know who it is?

Look forward to the details.

[arcane1]

8. dammit, I thought he was an Iranian spy, too!

how can ANYONE trust these bastards to pick our friends? They gave us Saddam, they gave us Osama, Noriega, etc...

:grr:

[htuttle]

10. Chalabi was spying for Iran

Bushco had TWO spies making decisions about the war in Iraq. One from Iran, and at least one from Israel.

Getting to be a regular United Nations of espionage over there at Rumsfeld's Pentagon...

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. They sure are a mix

of strange bedfellows. Each one thinking they will win in the end and screw all the others. Nice people.

3. Rapidly growing GD thread here:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. I'll BET this person is connected to the MCGreevy person as well

THAT whole thing STUNK to high heaven (it's just a GUT feeling..not based on actual evidence)

[movonne]

15. Feith and Wolfowitz

[tishaLA]

19. Who's the McGreevy person?

what'd I miss?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

21. The person NJ gov McGreevey hired that accused him of sexual

harassment..he was brought in from Israel for a Homeland Security position in the state (I am paraphrasing the facts a bit) but from the get go, I thought it rather odd how it all came about...again..I'm merely speculating and have no solid evidence on which to support my suspicions.

[tishaLA]

23. Oh d'uh!

I was a little show on the up-take.

[acmavm]

6. Okay, now it'll be all this person's fault. Junior was just used and

abused, poor baby.

[MikeG]

7. Did he sneak them out in his socks?

[RobertSeattle]

9. All the guy has to say is "I miscalculated"

and you are free - free as a bird!

FBI Probes Pentagon Spy Case

The FBI believes it has "solid" evidence that the suspected mole supplied Israel with classified materials that include secret White House policy deliberations on Iran.

(CBS) CBS News has learned that the FBI has a full-fledged espionage investigation under way and is about to -- in FBI terminology -- "roll up" someone agents believe has been spying not for an enemy, but for Israel from within the office of the Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon.

60 Minutes Correspondent Lesley Stahl reports the FBI believes it has "solid" evidence that the suspected mole supplied Israel with classified materials that include secret White House policy deliberations on Iran.

At the heart of the investigation are two people who work at The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington.

The FBI investigation, headed up by Dave Szady, has involved wiretaps, undercover surveillance and photography that CBS News was told document the passing of classified information from the mole, to the men at AIPAC, and on to the Israelis.

12. Notice

That the mole is "within the office of the Secretary of Defense."

That means someone close to Rumsfeld.

[Leilani]

13. My guess is

Douglas Feith

or Wolfowitz, but less likely.

But many have strong ties to Israel.

[alcuno]

17. I'd put my money on Feith.

Do they know who the spy is? I'll go back and read again.

[DoYouEverWonder]

16. Wow, so CBS News is dropping a little pre-convention

bombshell. Cool.

I wonder how more bombshells will be dropped in the next two weeks? Bush is Toast. Yahoo!


Oops: a little dyslexic slip - NBC is not CBS

[iconoclastic cat]

26. I'm confused: How does this make Bush toast?

Can't he just deny everything, as usual? How could this hurt him?

[mandyky]

20. Lead on Hardball too!

Holy crow, I turn off the TV for 2 hours and come back to this.. LOL

[fob]

22. Is this the person that Valerie Plame would have eventually uncovered

had she not been outed by nofacts. Would she have come across a bush*co admin member along the way? Is this persons name in nofacts Rol-O-Dex?

[ikojo]

24. I heard AIPAC mentioned but I don't know in

what capacity and how they relate to the story.

Oh here is a link....

[DoYouEverWonder]

25. The spy gave them two documents

about US policy on Iraq that they passed on to Israel.

Who's Who on AIPAC. Does anybody know?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

27. So our foreign policy is coming from Israeli spies and guys named

"Curveball." :wtf:
