by | Jan 3, 2011 | Interviews

Grant F. Smith, director of the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy in Washington, D.C., discusses how Steven Rosen’s lawsuit disclosures are shining a light on the highly-secretive inner workings of AIPAC; the pro-Israel media’s focus on the ‘injury of the United States’ part of the Espionage Act while ignoring the ‘advantage of a foreign nation’ part; why Attorney General Eric Holder would rather prosecute WikiLeaks than AIPAC; Rosen’s violation of court proceeding rules that may get his case dismissed; and the 1700 or so generous donors to AIPAC — many of whom also support Israel’s Likud Party — who essentially dictate US foreign policy in the Middle East.
