WMD: was counter-intelligence a sting to smash spy ring?

[emad]

Joining the dots of the whole story so far and looking at the daming of Larry Franklin in Douglas Feith's office as the alleged spy working for Israel, here is a snip from the UK's Sunday Times 29 August:

Pentagon official named as spy for Israel

Franklin’s office reported to Douglas Feith, the Pentagon’s third-ranking official behind Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz, his deputy. Both Feith and Wolfowitz are strong supporters of Israel and critics have frequently complained that Pentagon policy-making is controlled by a “Jewish cabal”.

Feith is an influential aide. He oversaw the Pentagon’s Office of Special Plans, now defunct, which was criticised for providing policy-makers with alleged links between Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and Al- Qaeda.

A report in the Washington Times claimed yesterday that the FBI had “unconfirmed” information that Feith also supplied information to Israel in the 1980s. The Pentagon made no comment and no arrests have yet been made in the case.

Relations between Israel and Iran have become increasingly fraught in recent months.
