That specifically targeted bug that hit the Iranian nuke facility either came from the Israelis, or the NSA. .[/quote]
Allan, if you mention this to an Israeli they will immediately be offended and ask if you have proof. Also, a second Iranian nuclear scientist was just assassinated a few days ago. For the past few months I’ve been tracking Mid East skullduggery at a few different sites. It’s better than a Tom Clancy novel;)
Actually, the number one super spies with some of the best technology on the planet are Israeli tech companies(data mining, telecom surveillance, etc.). Well, that is at least how they market themselves. Coincidentally, Israel has been caught spying on the US several times in the last few years. Actually, there is a case in court right now. Also, many times going back to the 50s, including some very damaging cases(Jonathan Pollard is currently serving a life sentence for stealing a literal truck load of nuclear secrets that Israel than traded to the Soviets for them to change their immigration policies).
Which, is who I think is suspect number one behind wikileaks for now. In 2005 the FBI noted, for example, that Israel maintains “an active program to gather proprietary information within the United States.” A key Israeli method, said the FBI report, is computer intrusion. So they have the capability and past history of stealing sensitive information.
As for one motive:
In Israel the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said that he felt vindicated by [Wiki-leaks] revelations about the extent of international and Arab concern about Iran and its nuclear programme. “Israel has not been damaged at all by the WikiLeaks publications,” Netayahu said.
“The documents show many sources backing Israel’s assessments, particularly of Iran. Our region has been hostage to a narrative that is the result of 60 years of propaganda, which paints Israel as the greatest threat. In reality leaders understand that that view is bankrupt. For the first time in history there is agreement that Iran is the threat,” he said.
As Netanyahu points out there is a battle of narratives in which wikileaks helps to mold and is very important to Israel if you understand their global politics.
On Monday, Israeli lawmaker Michael Ben Ari said he filed a formal complaint with the UN, calling for war crimes investigations of senior American politicians and “international arrest warrants for US government leaders.”
