Snip:
The US deputy defence secretary, Paul Wolfowitz, has been briefed on the FBI's investigation into a Pentagon analyst suspected of passing US secrets on Iran to Israeli officials.

Media reports over the weekend have forced the FBI to accelerate its probe into Larry Franklin, a former attache to the US Embassy in Israel and a staffer in the office of Douglas Feith, the defence department's undersecretary for policy

Mr Franklin was yesterday described by law enforcement officials as cooperating with the FBI's investigation.

Investigators are trying to determine whether Mr Franklin passed classified material about Bush administration policy on Iran to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the major Israeli lobbying group in Washington, and whether Aipac in turn passed it to Israel.

1. Great. Be sure to keep the fox guarding the hen house up to date

This is goin' nowhere, folks. That's my feeling about it. The Bush administration has been guilty of treason in probably a thousand ways. For the Bushes, it's a family tradition. The cabal will ultimately get away with this too.

2. Unless of course it's a subtle counter-intelligence-led op....

Couldn't get over the fact that one Dave Szady "Shady Dave" the FBI counter-intelligence chief is investigating this whole Israeli spy biz..

Sounds like there's far worse to come...
