From Chris Ketcham's piece on Israeli spying in the U.S.:
"Whether it’s a Democratic or Republican administration, you don’t
bad-mouth Israel if you want to get ahead," says former CIA
counterterrorism officer Philip Giraldi. "Most of the people in the
agency were very concerned about Israeli espionage and Israeli actions
against U.S. interests. Everybody was aware of it. Everybody hated
it. But they wouldn’t get promoted if they spoke out. Israel has a
privileged position and that’s the way things are. It’s crazy. And
everybody knows it’s crazy."
