.." sta~nch ~upportfor /;tel's prime minister Ariel sOon in the Bush
administration. When this was put to one CIA source, the reply was
mocking: 'That's what they always do. As soon as these guys get any
criticism, they scream Israel and anti-Semitism, and I think people are
finally beginning to see through that smokescreen.'"
How and why an investigation into Iranian penetration of our most closely
guarded secrets constitutes evidence of "anti-Semitism" is a question I'll
leave (or weightier intellects to ponder. But such an unseemly outburst
ought to put to rest any' doubts about a neocon-Iranian convergence of
interests: we know something's afoot when both Richard Perle and the
Iranian mullahs sound absolutely identical in tone as well as content.
We knew what the neocons were capable of: smearing their enemies, lying
about practicallyanything, even outing a CIA agent doing high-priority
undercover work. Is anyone surprised that they're capable of espionage?
Perle is right about one thing:· it's time to take the gloves off.
