Nice piece by Al-Jazeera English on Freeman, quoting Hillary Mann Leverett and Max Blumenthal, both using the words “the Israel lobby” a lot. It’s entered our political language, and a good thing–enough prevarication.
Al-Jazeera picks a smart quote from Freeman’s exit speech the other night:
The outrageous agitation that followed the leak of my pending appointment will be seen by many to raise serious questions about whether the Obama administration will be able to make its own decisions about the Middle East and related issues.
