Over at the American Conservative magazine’s blog, Antiwar.com columnist and former CIA officer Philip Giraldi reports that Israeli sources have indicated to him that the recent leak to the FBI about the new-old Israeli spy case came from inside the Israeli government toward the end of thwarting Ehud Olmert, Dick Cheney and the War Party’s plans to expand the Middle Eastern slaughter to Iran - and that there are more spies to be revealed…
Israeli sources are reporting that the FBI investigation of the Ben-Ami Kadish spy case resulted from a leak coming from inside the government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. …
[Yosef] Yagur, who is now retired and living in Israel, was Kadish's case officer, handling the cases of both him and Jonathan Pollard. Before the anonymous leak of information, the FBI had no idea that Kadish had been a spy for Israel. Now it is investigating a number of US citizens, including an individual who held very senior security positions in the Clinton and Bush White Houses.
How many different people fit the definition, "an individual who held very senior security positions in the Clinton and Bush White Houses"? Can’t be too many… More to the point, why would the Israeli government do such a thing as out their own agents (albeit past ones) to the FBI? According to Giraldi,
The leak of the information at the present time is believed to be linked to proposed closed congressional hearings at the end of this month in which the White House had planned to use several Israeli intelligence officers to provide evidence on the alleged Syrian nuclear program that was bombed on September 6, 2007. It is now unlikely that Israeli intelligence officers will allow themselves to be questioned because they would almost certainly be asked about Israeli spying on the US. Vice President Dick Cheney and Olmert had apparently planned on using the congressional briefings as a launch pad to intensify diplomatic and military pressure against both Syria and Iran. It is believed that the "doves" in the Olmert administration who leaked the information are seeking to make a military confrontation more difficult and are hoping that negotiations, particularly with Syria, will instead take place.
According to the LA Times, these Congressional hearings about the bogus Syria-North Korea Plutonium factory were meant by the neocons at the American Enterprise Institute to be a simple "box-checking exercise," on the great clipboard of war in the words of AEI vice-warmonger and Ahmad Chalabi champion, Danielle Pletka.
Gareth Porter’s new article explains how the installation of General Petraeus as Royal Viceroy over the Middle East and Central Asia helps smooth the road to war. Perhaps the new and forthcoming spy revelations will help push the scales back the other way.

Heh.
I think the senior official may be former CIA director, John Deutsch.
Scratch that. it may be either Tenet or Clarke.
What you have theorized is most probably possible. Cheney is still looking for more war, and wants to send more Americans to death. He may even implement draft, and all opposition would be thrown in Prison Camps similar to Guantanamo bay, thanks to HR 1955 and HR 1959.
And one more thing, I could not submit the site into Digg. Maybe Digg has server side problems, ot just maybe the permalink is not recognized by Digg. I believe you should stress the improtance of Social Networking and it is the best way to spread the word.
What happened to the original text of Paul Craig Robert’s article about the Bush “hoax” war? Why was it edited? Below is the original text of the last two paragraphs that were deleted in the LRC version:
”The more likely explanation for the U.S. invasion of Iraq is the neoconservative Bush regime’s commitment to the defense of Israeli territorial expansion. There is no such thing as a neoconservative who is not allied with Israel. Israel hopes to steal all of the West Bank and southern Lebanon for its territorial expansion. An American colonial regime in Iraq not only buttresses Israel from attack, but also can prevent Syria and Iran from giving support to the Palestinians and Lebanese.
The Iraqi war is a war for Israeli territorial expansion. Americans are dying and bleeding to death financially for Israel. Bush’s ‘war on terror’ is a hoax that serves to cover U.S. intervention in the Middle East in behalf of ‘greater Israel.”’
…Not to mention 112.7 Billion barrels of Proven Reserve there, along with 89.7 in Iran: both of which The Chinese have their eyes on as well.
