Larry Franklin allegedly arrested by FBI
Edited on Fri Sep-24-04 02:36 PM by RebelYell
Phil Jayhan, the guy that runs letsroll911.org, claims Franklin was arrested because of his website. That is yet to be seen. No public confirmation of the arrest has been made, that I can find.



"I have just learned from inside FBI sources that 'LetsRoll911.org' has caused the first arrest in the 911 investigation; A one Mr, Lawrence Franklin, from the Pentagon, was arrested by the FBI in a sting operation which was based upon information gleaned from...'LetsRoll911.org'"
by Phil Jayhan, LetsRoll911.org:

This from an inside FBI source; I cannot divulge the source but believe they are accurate!

2. Thanks RebelYell
'LetsRoll' has finally brought about the first arrest of 911!!!!!

And I am told it won't stop there, but have been informed that Mr. Franklin rolled over and told all. The Canary sang, and for a good long time;

Hundreds of arrests, I have been informed are on their way from the FBI, and all of this because of one single article here at letsroll. Not sure which one....Yet.

More to come!

6. Interesting to see what comes of this.
Edited on Fri Sep-24-04 03:37 PM by Minstrel Boy
Franklin, I believe, is taking the fall for more senior officials who are guilty of more serious treason.

And maybe it's just my ol' time paranoia, but I remain guarded about the agenda of "letsroll911."

7. Memo to Feith and Wolfowitz: Don't Blame the Fall Guy
by Christopher Manion
I've been hearing from friends who know this fellow at Defense – the one who's being tried in the media for leaking secrets to AIPAC, an operation based in Washington that appears to be closely allied to a foreign government.

According to published reports, Larry Franklin is the desk officer for Iran and allegedly gave some draft of some plan to someone in the AIPAC/Israeli complex.

First and foremost, Mr. Franklin is innocent until proven guilty – by a court, not by the press. But Mr. Franklin's ordeal brings other issues to mind as well. As all the commotion unfolds regarding this "mid-level official," it occurs to me that the "crime" he supposedly committed – sharing secrets with the Israelis – is something his superiors are doing every day – quite legally, I hasten to add. And so I wonder, why are they hanging this particular chap out to dry, twisting slowly in the wind?

In a word, why won't DoD Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and Undersecretary Douglas Feith step up to the plate, acknowledge that what this guy allegedly did was a minor microcosm of what they do, major league, big time, day in and day out? They could easily make their exit, stage left (where they came from, by the way) and join the crowd of former "Defense officials" in the sewer that Beltway types, and Richer Perle in particular (according to the NYT), all treat like their private hot tub?

Feith, Wolfowitz, and co. have all made it clear that they can chime in when Congressman Tom DeLay sings, "I am an Israeli at heart." This widespread conviction appears to be legal, if not entirely heartening, so what's the big deal? If Franklin shared any information with the Israeli government or its AIPAC branch, it was no different than walking down the hall to share it with Feith or Wolfowitz.

8. It doesn't say in that message that he was arrested
It says he's being investigated for espionage, which is old news. Maybe the arrest news came from a different source than your link? Or the post has been edited? I'm confused.
