Wie durch die von Aftenposten veröffentlichte US-Botschaftsdepesche #06TELAVIV2301 vom Juni 2006 jetzt bekannt wurde, pressten israelische Offizielle US-amerikanischen Firmen hohe Bestechungsgelder für Warenlieferungen über den israelischen Grenzübergang Karni nach Gaza ab. Die Kosten für die Grenzüberquerung hätten so teilweise das 75-fache der offiziellen Preisliste betragen, erklärte Coca Cola Distributeur Jörg Hartmann der US-Botschaft dem Bericht zufolge.

LEAKS TO AIPAC SAID TO BE „COMMON“

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the pro-Israel lobby organization, has often received and distributed confidential government information, including classified materials, asserted former AIPAC official Steven J. Rosen in his pending lawsuit against the organization.

„There is evidence that the receipt and distribution of confidential foreign policy information is a common practice for AlPAC,“ he argued in a December 14 legal filing (pdf).  The organization disputes that claim.

Mr. Rosen contends that he was wrongfully terminated by AIPAC after he and fellow AIPAC employee Keith Weissman became the subjects of a federal investigation for the unlawful receipt and disclosure of classified information they obtained from former Pentagon official Larry Franklin.  Rosen and Weissman were indicted in 2005 but the federal case against them was withdrawn by prosecutors in 2009.

On previous occasions, Mr. Rosen said in his current lawsuit, „AIPAC condoned the receipt and distribution of classified information.“  In 1984, Rosen recalled, he had received and shared classified information that members of the Libyan UN delegation had provided money to a US presidential candidate’s staff.  His conduct in that matter was supported by the organization, he said.

„There were in fact other situations before the 2004 Larry Franklin matter involving Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman in which AIPAC employees were involved in receiving classified material,“ including the 1984 acquisition of a classified US Trade Representative document, some details of which been redacted from the public version of Mr. Rosen’s filing.

The latest developments in the case of Rosen v. AIPAC were reported in „Steve Rosen Fires Back in His Law Suit Against AIPAC“ by Nathan Guttman, Forward, December 15. Selected case files are available from the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy here.

An AIPAC spokesman told the Forward that it „strongly disagrees with Mr. Rosen’s portrayal of events and circumstances related to this litigation.“ He said that „senior employees at AIPAC testified under oath during this litigation that they had never been involved with seeking or knowingly disclosing classified information as part of their jobs at AIPAC.“

AIPAC has stated that Rosen and Weissman were fired because their behavior „did not comport with standards that AIPAC expects of its employees.“

But Rosen’s December 14 pleading said that there were no AIPAC standards on handling classified information, and therefore he could not have violated them.  „At no time in the 23 years Steven Rosen was employed by AIPAC did the organization provide in writing or orally any guidance or standards that he and other employees were expected to follow regarding the receipt and sharing of secret, sensitive or ‘classified’ information that might be offered by government officials.“

ANOTHER INDICTMENT IN A LEAK CASE

The Obama Administration yesterday announced an unprecedented fifth prosecution in a case involving unauthorized disclosures of classified information.

Former Central Intelligence Agency officer Jeffrey A. Sterling was arrested on charges of disclosing classified intelligence information concerning a foreign nuclear weapons program to an unnamed author.  From the context, it is evident that the alleged recipient [referred to as Author A] is New York Times reporter James Risen and the foreign nuclear program is that of Iran.

A copy of the indictment, dated December 22, 2010 and unsealed January 6, 2011, is here (pdf).

Aside from the intrinsic interest of the allegations, the indictment includes numerous incidental details worthy of note.  For example:

**  „In or about early May 2003, senior management from Author A’s employer informed a senior United States government official that the newspaper article would not be published.“  That is, the New York Times decided not to publish the classified information at issue after the U.S. government argued that its revelation would damage national security.  But Mr. Risen reached a different conclusion and went on to write about the material in his 2006 book State of War.  In a contest of this sort, the party that is willing to publish naturally determines the outcome.

**  „Between on or about February 9, 2004, and on or about April 24, 2004, Author A placed fourteen interstate telephone calls from Author A’s personal residence to the temporary residence of defendant STERLING and sent one interstate email.“  This indicates that Mr. Risen or Mr. Sterling or both were under close surveillance at that time.

**  The indictment shows some prosecutorial creativity in adding charges such as „mail fraud,“ along with alleged violations of the espionage statutes.  This is based on the allegation that Mr. Sterling „did knowingly cause to be delivered by the United States Postal Service … a shipment of Author A’s published books for sale at a commercial retail bookstore,“ thereby somehow defrauding the CIA.  Also citing the distribution of Mr. Risen’s book, the indictment additionally charges Mr. Sterling with „unauthorized conveyance of government property.“

The record number of leak prosecutions in the Obama Administration now include Mr. Sterling, former FBI linguist Shamai Leibowitz, former NSA official Thomas A. Drake, Army private Bradley Manning, and former State Department contractor Stephen Kim.

Im Mittleren Osten sind die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika ein hilfloser Riese

von Eric Margolis

1956 taten sich das Vereinigte Königreich, Frankreich und Israel zusammen, um Ägypten zu überfallen und seinen allgemein beliebten nationalistischen Anführer Gamal Abdel Nasser zu stürzen. Israel provozierte Grenzzwischenfälle und besetzte schnell die Sinai-Halbinsel. Die Briten und Franzosen landeten in Suez.
