While everyone’s waiting to learn what pans out in the Larry Franklin/DoD/AIPAC/FBI affair, some media outlets seem almost rooting for an arrest.
The Melbourne Herald Sun announces in the headline: “Israel spy found at Pentagon,” then goes on to declare unequivocally, “An Israeli spy has been uncovered at the highest levels of the Pentagon, the FBI confirmed last night.”
CBS, whose Leslie Stahl broke the story to much fanfare on Friday (see her video report), headlines their latest article, “Spy Arrest Said Possible Soon.” But CNN reports, “there may not be charges at all.” Hmmm.
BBC is quick to make Pollard comparisons:
The BBC’s Nick Childs in Washington says this is potentially a very serious development, because Israel is one of America’s closest allies.
However, he adds that Israel has been accused of spying on the US before.
Israellycool has a nice roundup, and Allah is all over it as well.
UPDATE: An informative article from Newsweek, which gives some background on Larry Franklin and the FBI’s interest in him.
