Israelis Claim Secret Agreement With U.S. by Glen Kessler @WaPo

http://www.washingtonpost.com/…..038;sub=AR

“A letter that President Bush personally delivered to then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon four years ago has emerged as a significant obstacle to the president’s efforts to forge a peace deal between the Israelis and Palestinians during his last year in office.

Ehud Olmert, the current Israeli prime minister, said this week that Bush’s letter gave the Jewish state permission to expand the West Bank settlements that it hopes to retain in a final peace deal, even though Bush’s peace plan officially calls for a freeze of Israeli settlements across Palestinian territories on the West Bank. In an interview this week, Sharon’s chief of staff, Dov Weissglas, said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reaffirmed this understanding in a secret agreement reached between Israel and the United States in the spring of 2005, just before Israel withdrew from Gaza.

U.S. officials say no such agreement exists…”

So…

The Israelis wanted to build more settlements, and what did Bush do?

The Israelis invaded Lebanon, and what did Bush do?

The Israelis bombed Syria, and what did Bush do?

In every case, Bush did What the Israelis wanted him to do.

So, while it may be that Bush was susceptible to extortion over the NSA Wiretapping story, it seems even more likely that the Punishment-for-Non-Compliance Fist was/is likely to be holding Pictures of Personal/Shameful, Non-Presidential Conduct…a lot worse than…wait for it…that whipping boy for all things shameful to Goopers…Bill Clinton.

Abramoff getting ‘Country Club’ treatment? Why not? In this scenario – totally hypothetical, but possible – Abramoff would be a hostage, more like a captured Spy, and not just a ‘corrupt’ lobbyist.

However, Abramoff doesn’t seem to be a very leverageable hostage, though, as Bush appears to have been compromised so badly that Chimpy is ‘giving it up’ on command…

I’m not saying, I’m just saying…

I looked up the career of James Jesus Angleton (don’t ask) and concluded that he was deeply involved in setting up Mosad and part of the reason was it turned out his close Brit pal was a mole and he felt he couldn’t trust his own people and he could get the Israelis to do his dirty work. Angelton was the “mother of the CIA”

Boy, what a house of mirrors that is. Wander around there for a while and you lose all sense of bearings about what is real and what isn’t, who you can trust (nobody) and who you can’t (everyone). I get vertigo just thinking about it.

Check out the title of this article “Trial to Offer Look at World of Information Trading”

How low will the New York Times go redefining “spying” and treason?

Mr. Lowell and John Nassikas III, who represents Mr. Weissman, plan to confront Ms. Rice and the other witnesses with explicit examples of exchanges in which they provided similar sensitive information to Aipac staff members as part of the regular back-channel world of diplomacy.

Although Aipac has not been charged in the case, the trial, to be heard by Judge T. S. Ellis III, will revolve around how the group, renowned for its effectiveness in presenting Israel’s case, exerts its influence in Congress and, especially in recent years, on the executive branch.

For Aipac and to some extent the larger pro-Israel community in the United States, the charges against Mr. Rosen and Mr. Weissman could raise what they regard as an unfair, even toxic question about whether some American Jews hold a loyalty to Israel that matches or exceeds their loyalty to the United States.

He has quite the archive on trial and investigation.

EW while I do not question your integrity I do question this comment. “Thing is there still is a rule of law in this country”. Really?

where? We have watched the Bush administration get away with murder, the destruction of the constitution, Libby pardon, wiretapping, dismissal of Federal Judges etc etc. The American public knows that generally there is a justice system for the peasants and a justice system for the insiders and well connected. Although Abramoff, Conrad Black, Cunningham are good examples of some insider justice taking place.

Do you think it is more “radical” to access classify documents and give them to a foreign nation. Or more “radical” to reinterpret espionage laws? And who has said that this is a “radical” reinterpretation of those espionage laws? Rosen and Weismmans attorneys?

Do Judges always play by the rules?

Have you thought of a timeline for this?

I just came across a bit of a “tin hat” site that has an amazing timeline on this, a site dedicated to “Franklingate”.

I’d post a link but I do not want to “muddy” the quality of your post and the comments… Should I email a link for you to look at?
