Loftus is another matter. Do a google search on his name. He is a liberal activist. Notice how he claims the "evil" intelligence community was loath to admit it had been compromised. That is just plan silly as anyone who knows the story of James Jesus Angleton is aware. What Loftus does not want to admit is it was not so much the intelligence agencies which were compromised but his beloved Democratic party, the State Department (a hive of liberals), the FDR and the Truman administration. The New Deal coalition swarmed with traitors.

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I had no idea that John Loftus was a liberal activist or a Democrat. I received the link in a right wing Torah Nationalist e-mail and thought the contents might be of interest to FReepers.

Two points: first, while the liberalism of the source certainly must be taken into account, I wish to point out that Israel-haters have never hesitated to invoke the most radical leftists (Gore Vidal, Normal Mailer, Noam Chomsky, Edward Said, Vanessa Redgrave, Ralph Nader, Lyndon LaRouche, even Joseph Stalin) whenever the statements of these people agreed with their own positions. Their response has always been that at least these leftists are "honest" or represent cases where leftism has slipped out of the "control" of its "creators." I say this not to lump you in with such company (since I know nothing about you), but merely to point out that even a broken clock is right twice a day and the liberalism of the source, while it may be an influence on his conclusion, does not necessarily disqualify his conclusions.

Secondly, the infiltration of the State Department during the Roosevelt-Truman administrations is so well known and well documented as to be beyond debate. However, I wish to point out that that same notoriously leftist State Department is the same government department that has been fanatically anti-Israel and pro-Arab for some sixty years. Coincidence?

I think that you will find that many of us who are against any release of this spy are very pro Israel. We have a deep disdain of the career state rats, who hate Israel and support the Islamofacist Thugs and Opecker Princes.

I strongly suggest you question your right wing source about their plugging John Loftus, the man who claimed to prove Bush had beneficial connections with the German Third Reich.
