Former editor of the newsletter of the
American Israel Public Affairs Committee
is helping the administration pave the way
for a war with Iran. To be fair, he has LOTS
of help in this.

excerpt from site:
The story about the Lebanese Hizbullah and Iran
kidnapping US troops in Karbala, Iraq, seemed to me
to hang an awful lot on the activities of one person.
It is not surprising that a few Lebanese Shiites with
a background in Hizbullah and good contacts in Iran
have gone to Iraq to fight the US. What is surprising
is how few they have been. It is also surprising that
the US has lost relatively few men to fights with the
Shiites.
The US has 19,000 persons in custody in Iraq, and
hundreds of foreigners. Almost all of them are Sunni
Arabs. They appear to have exactly one Lebanese
Shiite.
Why put all this emphasis on this one guy and ignore
the hundreds from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, etc.? It is
to build a case against Iran in preparation to
bombing it.
Iran is denying the charge.
