I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Douglas Feith, The final Straw???

We have been looking for proof that this administration is rotten to core. Well, so has the FBI (I wonder how they got this one past Ashcroft). FBI espionage probe goes beyond Israeli allegations, sources say.
WASHINGTON - An FBI probe into the handling of highly classified material by Pentagon civilians is broader than previously reported, and goes well beyond allegations that a single mid-level analyst gave a top-secret Iran policy document to Israel, three sources familiar with the investigation said Saturday.


The probe, which has been going on for more than two years, also has focused on other civilians in the Secretary of Defense's office, said the sources, who spoke on condition they not be identified, but who have first-hand knowledge of the subject.


In addition, one said, FBI investigators in recent weeks have conducted interviews to determine whether Pentagon officials gave highly classified U.S. intelligence to a leading Iraqi exile group, the Iraqi National Congress, which may in turn have passed it on to Iran. INC leader Ahmed Chalabi has denied his group was involved in any wrongdoing.


The linkage, if any, between the two leak investigations, remains unclear.


But they both center on the office of Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith, the Pentagon's No. 3 official.
The Bush administration loves secrets and has kept as much as possible from the American people and the congress, but apparently Feith's office has been dealing out Top Secrets like cards in a poker game. Let's see what the tabloid media does with this.
