Neocons Preparing the Sequel to Plan of Attack

Treason?

That's right. Not spying. Treason. It would be an act of treason for any American to deliberately develop an NSPD that was in the best interests of some other country, but not in our best interests.

The neo-crazies boast that if the Israelis or their paid lobbyists at the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) want to know something, all they have to do is drop by the White House and National Security Adviser Condi Rice or one of her deputies will tell them anything – literally anything – they want to know.

But, one of the "persons of interest" in the FBI investigation is Larry Franklin – a munchkin in the neo-crazy fiefdom of Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith. According to news reports, Franklin is not suspected of spying. But he has apparently been observed by the FBI asking AIPAC lobbyists if there is anything in a top secret "draft" NSPD on Iran that the Israelis object to. Or if there is anything that isn't in the NSPD on Iran that the Israelis want included.

In the unclassified version of NSPD-17, Bush vows to "respond with overwhelming force," including, possibly, the use of nuclear weapons, "to the use of biological, chemical, radiological or nuclear weapons on the nation, its troops or its allies."

The Washington Post promptly revealed that the top secret version of NSPD-17 "breaks with 50 years of U.S. counterproliferation efforts by authorizing preemptive strikes on states and terrorist groups that are close to acquiring weapons of mass destruction or the long-range missiles capable of delivering them."


Woodward must now be outraged. Presumably, he was frequently the only person in the room that didn't know about the FBI investigation. If Condi really tells the AIPAC crowd anything and everything they want to know, how could she have not told them the FBI was investigating them? And how could Feith not have told his former law partner, L. Marc Zell, now practicing law in Israel? And how could Richard Perle – the Prince of Darkness – not have known?
