Over a bever· age and cigarette, Weissman described having metwith Franklin four or five times over the previous two years to talk about non-j\rab Middle East countries, primarily Iran) according toa court doc~ ument..The agents asked him ifFranklin had ever disclosed classified information to him oranyone else he knew, and they noted his answer: "No." , ~ The two AIPAC officials) hunch that a phone call to the post had found its way onto the'FBPs radar was correct. They had shared what law-enforcement officials considered "national-defense information" with Post reporter Glenn Kessler about stepped-up Iranian activ-, ity in Iraq. Thegovernment would later charge that Rosen described it to Kes-, sler as "agency information" from an "American intelligence source." But tha~ call to the Post was a small piece ofthe story. And contrar¥~o what agent Hanna told Rosen, this was"acriminal matter.." }3y the time the agents approached Rosen and Weiss-. man, they were nearing the, final stageS ofan investigation into leaks ofclassified informa-. tion that would wreck the two men's careers and throw oneof .

"Today's charges are about crossing that line." Rosen, Weissman, and Franklin were accused under a rarely used section of the World War ~-era Espionage Act., A conviction could land Weissman, a father ofthree, in prison for up to ten years and Rosen, also afather of. thre~ who faces an additional charge, for up to 20.. But the potential impact extends beyond these two men and AIPAC. It could also send a chill through the ranks ofWashington lobbyists and consultants for foreign governments.

But a conviction is by no means a sure thing) due in part to'an aggressiv~ dlree-year fight by the defense team, led by Abbe Lowell for Rosen and by John Nassikas III for Weissman.. The law~ yers' no·stone-unturned litigation fills a foot-thick file ofmotions and rebuttals in US District Court in Alexandria. I\. series ofrulings by the resolutely even.. handed presiding judge, T.S •. Ellis III,. has knocked $ome ofthestuffing outof the government's case and required the Bush administration to'put some ofits top officials on the wiUless stand. In fact, what the US attorney called the "dearline in thelaw" isn'tdear at all, particularly where the question ofintent coines into play. When the case comes to trial in late ~pril, assistant US attorneys Kevin DiGregoiyand William N. Hammerstrom Jr.. will have to meet a big burden ofproof•. Showing that Rosen and Weissman obtained, talked about', and relayed sensitive national-defense information won't be enough. Prosecutors will have to prove that the two men did so knowing that ifthe information were revealed, it would damage US national security and also knowing tha~ disclosing it was illegal.; Convincing ajury that Rosen and Weissman possessed this criminal state ofmind won't be easy., TQ counter the charge, defense lawyers intend to lay bare th.e largely hidden world ofbackchannel Washington diplomacy. They will try to'show that senior officials reg~ ularly'gave AlPl\C officials sensitive in'"' formation With the full expectation that it would be passed along t~ Israelis and others. In that way, they will comend that AlPAC played a role in developing US foreign policy. Over prosecutors' objections, defen... dams won court approval to subpoena 15 current and former top administra"l. tion officials.
