Didn't hear from you. Hence, crickets. BTW: The "controls" wording came from the title of the secondary article that picked up and reposted the Cockburn piece in Harper's.

I prefer other terms to describe this dual-track foreign political influence campaign by Israel and the Saudis to undermine Obama's diplomacy and to push the US into war with Iran and its Shi'ia allies. These Mideast powers have been underwriting sedition in order to carry out genocide against a common foe.
