Oh My God!

The FBI says there is an Israeli spy working within the Pentagon!!!

Hilarious.

I would have thought the real shock would be if there is anyone on the US government payroll who is not sub-contracted to Israel.

It claimed the suspected spy had ties with the two most senior Pentagon officials after Mr Rumsfeld - Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith.

Well now! Anyone familiar with the neo-conservative agenda would know that it is ruthlessly pro-Israel. Even the well-meaning congregations of Christian churches across the USA have somehow been convinced that protecting Israel is an important part of US foreign policy.

Why? God knows...

The truth is, the USA and Israel have virtually merged into a single state.

So what's really going on here?

Firstly, it's a slap on the wrist for Israel and the neo-cons, presumably instigated by Karl Rove - Bush's Brain - who realizes that winning the next election is more important, in the short term at least, than catering to these ideological fanatics.

Secondly, it's an interesting move by the FBI, an agency which has managed to maintain its veil of secrecy - particularly over the Sibel Edmonds affair - even while other US intelligence groups are being minutely examined.

Thirdly, I have no idea.

Seriously, there is so much going on nowadays that we just don't know about and never will know about, however well informed we may be. While secrecy may sometimes be a necessary part of government, things these days are about as non-transparent as can be. More's the pity. And for the most part, our precious media are not exactly cracking through to the inner sanctum, are they?
