U.S. Sharing NSA Data With Israel
So what? We are sharing valuable intelligence to help Israel track down and fight the terrorist organizations that are trying to destroy them. I don’t see what the big deal is. With the current crisis there I am sure that, despite paranoia from the left, Israel isn’t interested in their private phone calls to sex lines. However, AJ Strata points out how the left-wing, anti-Israel sites are lapping the news up. It is all part of an evil plan to turn this into a World War from the Rovian/Bushitler regime!
A report by columnist Sidney Blumenthal in Salon claims that Israel is receiving intelligence from the US’s National Security Agency.
Blumenthal claims to be in touch with “a national security official with direct knowledge of the operation” to supply Israel with signals intelligence from American assets to help it monitor armament transfers from Syria and Iran to Hezbollah. He states that President Bush has approved the intelligence sharing.
Bush is being influenced by neoconservatives in his administration led by Vice President Dick Cheney’s staff and Elliot Abrams, senior director for the Near East on the National Security Council. The group, according to Blumenthal, seeks to start a ‘four front war’ by giving Israel the pretext to strike Iran and Syria. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has been briefed, but is not a central actor in the plan.
Maybe he sees this as a big career move to garner headlines – and in that he would be right! But whatever idiotic Walter Mitty fantasies that are running through this loser’s head it is clear he just alerted Iran and Syria and Hezbollah to the fact their activities are being monitored, giving them clear warning to change tactics if they want to remain undetected. When did the left become so overwhelmed with Bush Derangement Syndrome that they would help terrorists move military supplies into the battle field so more Israeli civilians can die?
I agree with AJ that Sid needs to meet the Grand Jury over this.
This effort is not illegal, is not exposing Americans to civil rights abuse, is not aimed at anything but stopping the flow of weapons to Israelis enemies on their northern border. People will die if this news helps the Syrians and Iranians successfully adjust their tactics.
Amen AJ! Its past time to show the enemies within leaking our secrets to the terrorists that they will pay a price and that their treasonous actions will have stiff consequences. But I’m sure the ACLU and their ilk will hold this guy up as a brave whistleblower hero! Its maddening!
Ace says lets just cut the middle man on classified info and transfer all our intelligence agencies’ classification/declassification operations to DNC headquarters. In essence of that, why not just transfer it straight to the people we are trying to monitor? Once it is leaked they find out too!
