Harold Rhode (see Larry Franklin)

The New Republic Online: Campaign Journal
The big question is which Pentagon officials will also be implicated in the AIPAC espionage case? There is little doubt that this is a very big story being kept under wraps thanks to the sensitive politics of accusing Israel of still spying on America, even after the Pollard case assurances from Israel's government.
Social network diagram for Harold Rhode.
This piece by the UPI's Richard Sale, a veteran intel reporter in D.C. provides an historical overview of the involvement of Rhode's former boss, Douglas Feith and others in U.S. policymaking. Feith was allegedly fired by Ronald Reagan's National Security Advisor for passing documents to Israel.
Feith was apparently fired because he'd been the object of an inquiry into whether he'd provided classified material to an official of the Israeli Embassy in Washington. The FBI had opened the inquiry. And Clark, who had served in U.S. Army counterintelligence in the 1950's, took such matters very seriously.....more seriously, apparently, than had Richard Allen [clark's predecssor as NSC advisor].
