Is Israel Spying on the US?

(CBS) CBS News has learned that the FBI has a full-fledged espionage investigation under way and is about to -- in FBI terminology -- "roll up" someone agents believe has been spying not for an enemy, but for Israel from within the office of the Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon.

60 Minutes Correspondent Lesley Stahl reports the FBI believes it has "solid" evidence that the suspected mole supplied Israel with classified materials that include secret White House policy deliberations on Iran.

At the heart of the investigation are two people who work at The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington.

[...]

CBS sources say that last year the suspected spy, described as a trusted analyst at the Pentagon, turned over a presidential directive on U.S. policy toward Iran while it was, "in the draft phase when U.S. policy-makers were still debating the policy."

This put the Israelis, according to one source, "inside the decision-making loop" so they could "try to influence the outcome."

The case raises another concern among investigators: Did Israel also use the analyst to try to influence U.S. policy on the war in Iraq?

With ties to top Pentagon officials Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith, the analyst was assigned to a unit within the Defense Department tasked with helping develop the Pentagon's Iraq policy.

*feeds the TTroll*
So, what if the white supremacists (or WTFever you are) got together and formed a separate-from-the-US country of their own, and we spy on them - does that make us bad guys?

Face it, everyone spies on everyone nowadays.

Last time I checked, Israel is fighting Palestine and the Palestinians are equally to blame for that mess as Israel is. Both have done stupid things. As for why people are Nazis, well there are people that believe even stranger things than that. The human mind is very odd.

Both sides have faulted the other beyond count; I just say 'screw both their governments; both rite now are corrupt and will never have peace'

Oh, and why ppl become Nazis: They are made to read The Diary of Anne Frank to have the horrors of the Holocaust conveyed to them.

Or that's the case w/this one Nazi I was once friends with (b4 he went Nazi) - apparently his grandparents helped shelter Jews from the Nazis, so his mom wanted him to read Anne Frank to understand how the people his grandparents sheltered felt. Unfortunately it triggered something inside of him, causing the bastard to become a Nazi himself

Well yes. But that doesn't take away the fact that Israel time and again ignores UN resolutions or the US simply veto's them. Which is a double standard since the US had a fit when Saddam did so.

Iraq was a threat to Israel. Iraq was not a threat to America.
Somehow America ended up shedding blood over a war based on fabrication by Bush. Coincidentally Israeli spies exist in the highest offices of this country.
The big picture is not hard to put together with a bit of logic.

Karl Marx's GRANDPARENTS were Jews. His parents converted to- and raised him in- Lutheranism. And then he became an atheist, who dissassociated himself utterly from the Jewish community, which he had never been a part of to begin with, anyway.

Furthermore, some of his works, such as "World Without Jews" read as downright anti-semitic. Lastly, the ideology he created has been used to persecute Jews.

So, yeah, the degree to which Marx was a Jew seems like it's up for debate.

Not to mention- so what? What does Marx's Jewishness or lack thereof have to do with Israel spying on the US?

Now, this poll, it wouldn't be... biased in any way would it??? I would have voted yes but for the way you phrased the choices. Israel spies. America spies. The Vatican probably spy. I remember Blair getting caught listening in to Kofi Annan's phone calls, it never even got to front page news. Suddenly an Israeli spy is caught and OMG!!!

The choices don't leave room for people to say that Israel is a sovereign nation, with the best intelligence services in the world - and the US and Israel have a special relationship, so ergo there is much voluntary sharing of informations, especially due to the nature of Israel's location in the world.

I'm completely shocked.

I dare. US intervention in the Middle East has traditionally been designed to benefit the US, much more so than Israel (how did Israel benefit from the US invading Iraq?). The US dicking around in the Middle East at all would piss Arab countries off, regardless of its Israel policy.

Furthermore, radical Muslims see themselves as fighting all non-believers. As a secular country with a lot of Christians, as well as being the only remaining super-power, the US is a logical target for the Bin Ladens of the world, regardless of its behavior.
