The FBI investigation:That individual is Larry Franklin

[cal04]

For months, I have been working with my colleagues Paul Glastris and Josh Marshall on a story for the Washington Monthly about US policy towards Iran. In particular, it involves a particular series of meetings involving officials from the office of the undersecretary of defense for Policy Doug Feith and Iranian dissidents.

As part of our reporting, I have come into possession of information that points to an official who is the most likely target of the FBI investigation into who allegedly passed intelligence on deliberations on US foreign policy to Iran to officials with the pro-Israeli lobby group, AIPAC, and to the Israelis, as alleged by the CBS report. That individual is Larry Franklin, a veteran DIA Iran analyst seconded to Feith’s office.

1. I think it's Rhode. Rhode was a long-time Pentagon official.

Franklin was DIA on loan to the Undersecretary of Defense.

Rhode was Feith's top Middle East advisor because he left
last year to become political advisor to Chalabi. This is
about the time the investigation started.

But sources do say it's Franklin. Most likely, it's BOTH.
I think this goes all the way to Wolfowitz and his Israeli
girlfriend.

2. The real question is

in the end, after all of the media attention, rumors, confusion, leaks, etc. ...will any of this stick to Bush? He and the higherups of this administration NEVER take responsibility for ANYTHING. Taking credit is a given, but responsibility?
