Ashcroft Interfering in Pentagon Spies Case?
Edited on Mon Sep-06-04 09:37 AM by Stephanie


Robert Dreyfuss on the spies case:

AIPAC of Spies
September 03, 200
Written by veteran investigative reporter Bob Dreyfuss , The Dreyfuss Report offers readers the story behind daily headlines and policies pursued on behalf of national security.

<snip>

So AIPAC is being watched, the Israeli Embassy has clammed up, AEI is not saying much and Franklin is getting ready to sing in front of a grand jury:

Franklin is expected to testify about his activities next week before a federal grand jury, said a fifth federal source.

The intelligence source said it's not clear what, if anything, Franklin will be charged with, "but I doubt it will be full-blown espionage." No, it will be half-blown espionage. Or, make that fully blown.


Now since the investigation was announced to Condi Rice and Steve Hadley two years ago, the question is: Did they tell Elliot Abrams? If so, they blew the investigation, because Abrams is part of the conspiracy. I hope the FBI was watching who told who what at the White House, but it’s obvious that this investigation was known to all the principals since 2002. I suppose they assumed they were so powerful that no one, no one would accuse them of being spies. We’ll see. That rag, the New York Sun—home of Eli Lake, junior mouthpiece of neocons—is reporting that the Attorney General Ashcroft himself is intervening in the case, possibly because his special pipeline to Jesus told him that Zionists must be protected at all costs. From the Sun :

According to sources familiar with the investigation, the U.S. district attorney in charge of the probe, Paul McNulty, has ordered the FBI not to move forward with arrests that they were prepared to make last Friday when the story broke on CNN and CBS. 'He put the brakes on it in order to look at it,' a source familiar with the investigation told the Sun. 'To see what was there. Basically the FBI wanted to start making arrests and McNulty said "Woa, based on what? Let's look at this before you do anything.”

Mr. McNulty was only assigned the case by Attorney General Ashcroft last Friday when federal agents came to AIPAC's offices in Washington to request files and hard drives. 'Ashcroft wanted to make sure this case was being handled properly,' the source familiar with the probe said. But what is the policy of Ledeen and Co.? They believe that Israel, Turkey, Iran, the Kurds, the Lebanese Christians and Pakistan can all be tied together in an alliance against the Arabs. That’s been true since the 1950s. What’s new is that Iraq presented them an opportunity: The Israel-Turkey-Iran et al. axis could take over and occupy part of the Arab bloc, thanks to the United States. Like the python who ate the deer, they are still struggling to digest it—though some, including myself but also including the CIA, believe they will choke on it. In any case, the gobbling up of Iraq hasn’t gone too well, but at least they’ve accomplished their secondary objective: the destruction and dismantling of Iraq as a nation and as a military force that could threaten Israel. And Ledeen, who organized Franklin’s secret missions to Iran since 2001, and Chalabi, who has secret missions of his own to Iran (both long exposed now), still believe that Iran is a useful partner in the anti-Arab axis.

2. It's been my contention all along
that the FBI went public because Asscrack was trying to get this particular bit of Pentagon treason buried. This could sink the entire Bush appointistration, knowing that they'd handed control of their foreign policy to a foreign power, Israel.

That's what we're facing with the neocons, folks. They don't have the US interest at heart. Whether they're rabid Christians obsessed with Armageddon or rabid Zionists, they are for Israel first and foremost.

And that is TREASON, folks.

5. Ashcroft has far surpassed
all of my low expectations of him. It's a toss-up between him and Cheney who has more treasonous acts under his belt.
