Pro-Israel Lobbying Group Roiled by Prosecution of Two Ex-Officials - New York Times

Pro-Israel Lobbying Group Roiled by Prosecution of Two Ex-Officials - New York Times: "The annual gathering of the nation's top pro-Israel lobbying group, which starts here on Sunday, will be addressed by Vice President Dick Cheney and United Nations Ambassador John R. Bolton. Politicians are lined up to warn of the threat from Iran and Hamas. Workshops will offer advice on winning the legislative game on Capitol Hill.
But the official program omits a topic likely to be a major theme of corridor chatter: the explosive Justice Department prosecution of two former officials of the group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, that is ticking toward an April trial date."
