 From Wayne Madsen Report: "November 15, 2006 -- There is word that Nancy Pelosi has very good reasons to prevent ranking House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) member Jane Harman from succeeding Peter Hoekstra as Chairman of the intelligence oversight committee. Informed sources report that Harman may be implicated in the larger FBI investigation of the America Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and its receipt of classified Pentagon and CIA documents from convicted former Pentagon intelligence official Larry Franklin. The investigation, according to a senior government source, involves the passing of "bags" of classified documents to Israeli intelligence assets who penetrated the Pentagon's Office of Special Programs. One such transfer of "bags" of documents was witnessed occurring between Franklin and a important official of the OSP at the Rockville, Maryland Metro parking lot. The involvement of Israeli agents, AIPAC officials, and Pentagon employees in the illegal transfer of sensitive classified documents to Israel was a matter of grave concern for the HPSCI, yet Harman never indicated the gravity of the situation to the House Democratic leadership, according to informed sources.
November 17/18/19, 2006 -- Capitol Hill sources report that Jane Harman, the ranking Democratic member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), whose chairmanship is opposed by Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi, attempted to interfere in the Justice Department's investigation of the America Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) for espionage.
Harman reportedly agreed to work with Republican chairman Peter Hoekstra to avoid an investigation of the cooked up pre-war intelligence on Iraq in return for the Bush administration going easy on the investigation of AIPAC officials Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman, both later indicted for receiving highly classified documents from Israeli Pentagon spy Larry Franklin.
The word is that Harman's involvement with AIPAC has torpedoed her chances of becoming HPSCI chair with California's two Democratic Senators, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, both weighing in with Pelosi against Harman becoming chairman.
November 17/18/19, 2006 -- Federal law enforcement sources report that a senior retired Mossad officer is the subject of a sealed indictment in the Larry Franklin-America Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) espionage case. The retired officer, a former terrorism adviser to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, worked under a relatively new type of Israeli intelligence cover in Washington -- association with a think tank, in this case the neo-conservative Hudson Institute. The subject of the sealed indictment and other Israeli agents using U.S. think tank cover operate as handlers for spies like Franklin and others.
