The FBI Investigation Continued.

Key Update: Here's my latest thought on this: As I understand, Franklin wasn't motivated to pass the information to Aipac to give it to the Israelis. He wanted our own government to act. He wanted to get it to the NSC and the White House.

I'm not joking. From what I understand from my sources, Franklin was desperately trying to get the US government to act on this intelligence. Aipac was just a tool for getting influence in Washington and the White House.

Go read the post below for all the background to this.

Update: Ledeen's skeptical about the whole story. His argument can be summed up: "the Bush administration has no Iran policy; what's there to leak?" A point made by reader HE in comments below.
