Hardworking Nathan Guttman gets the first interview with Hawaiian-beshirted Larry Franklin, the former Defense department analyst who was the only man to go down in the investigation of AIPAC lobbyists Rosen and Weissman:
His superiors at the time were both Jewish: Paul Wolfowitz, deputy
secretary of defense, and Douglas Feith, undersecretary of defense for
policy, whom Franklin believes was a target of the investigation.
This bugs me. It's "who" not "whom." In this clause "whom" is not the object of anything, it's the subject. I'm not surprised they were going after Feith. Feith's former law partner is now a settler, he has Theodor Herzl's picture on the wall, as a teenager he was writing letters to the Times defending Israel's expansion, as an adult telling Netanyahu to abandon the peace process. And he's completely opaque about his religous nationalist agenda.
According to Franklin, the investigators he dealt with believed
“that [Jonathan] Pollard had a secret partner, a mole, probably in the OSD.” This
quest to expose the mole, Franklin said, was, in part, “energized by a
more malevolent emotion — antisemitism.”
In part,
it was also fed by a deep suspicion toward Israel. “In the intelligence
community,” he said, “you refer to Israelis as ‘Izzis’ and it doesn’t
have a pleasant connotation. They can’t get away with kikes, so they
say Izzis.” This suspicion became clear to Franklin as he learned of
the way investigators viewed activists of the pro-Israel lobby.
I don't know. Why should the intelligence community [heart] Israel? Also, my grandfather's name was Isadore, and now and then his daughters-in-law, not all of whom were Jewish, called him Izzy.
