AIPAC’s latest victim
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009 byMore evidence that our foreign policy is behind held hostage by extreme pro-Israeli nationalists – Chas Freeman is forced to withdraw from his appointment to head the National Intelligence Council due to AIPAC pressure on influential senators. Greenwald has some good updates to the story. I haven’t been able to figure out why they singled this guy out, I haven’t seen any stridently anti-Israel statements in a modest amount of googling. He did chair some outfit called Middle East Policy Council, but that doesn’t look like some pro-Palestinian front or anyting.
