I'm no fan of shady aipac lobby and its corrupting influence on US policies but have pendulum swung too far the other way after 9/11?

Does this aipac guy deserves all this or needs our compassion?


The secret life of an accused AIPAC spy

By Nathan Guttman

Tags: Jewish World, Larry Franklin


Former Pentagon Iran analyst Larry Franklin recently quit his job cleaning the restrooms at his local church in West Virginia. He still keeps his weekend job, mopping the floors at a nearby Roy Rogers restaurant. In recent years, Franklin also has gained experience in parking cars, digging trenches and cleaning cesspools. In between, he has been searching for a publisher for his book - a manual for saving America from the Iranian threat.

On June 30, Franklin marked the fifth anniversary of his meeting with FBI agents, in which he first learned he was a suspect in what would later be known as "the AIPAC case," referring to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Along with Franklin, two of the Washington lobby's senior officials were charged with violating the seldom-used federal Espionage Act of 1917.
