Why would Israel need a spy in the Pentagon?

Doesn't the US already do everything Sharon could ask for? Some of the neocons seem to put Israel's interests ahead of America's anyway. Still, any scandal in a storm.

The suspect could have been in a position to influence Bush administration policy toward Iran and Iraq, the senior official said.

However, another government official said the suspect is "not in a level to influence policy."

"He is an analyst in an undersecretary's office," this official said.

Amazing coincidence that this news comes out on Friday night, ready to be quickly shoved to the back pages by protests in New York, Powell's invasion of Athens, the end of the Olympics, and the start of the Repug convention.
