Office of Special Plans Israeli leak
====================================

John Kiriakou discusses a major Israeli spy operation uncovered in the 2000s that ran through a leak from the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans, headed by Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith, both members of the neoconservative Project for a New American Century, and co-authors, with Richard Perle, of the "Clean Break" report advocating a dual-containment strategy against Iraq and Iran on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Abetting, not just overlooking

Kiriakou says he believes Wolfowitz and Feith, along with figures like David Addington and Scooter Libby, did not merely fail to take Israeli counterintelligence activity seriously, he thinks they actively helped abet Israeli counterintelligence operations against the United States, reasoning that officials who see the U.S.-Israel relationship as so close as to be functionally one figure that any information Israel obtains through spying is information Washington intended to give it anyway.
