Israel Lobby Espionage Trial Update 2008
Defendants Keith Weissman and Steve Rosen are working to force prosecutors to prove they intended to harm the United States and requesting that classified information on Iran be publicly released in their defense. How does this resemble a similar case in the 1960's when the government tried to register the Israel lobby as agents of a foreign government?
