3 accused of disclosing secrets on Mideast
By Toni Locy, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON ― Two former officials of a pro-Israel lobbying group and a former Pentagon analyst were charged Thursday with disclosing U.S. government secrets about the Middle East.
In a five-count indictment, a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Va., accused Steven Rosen, 63, and Keith Weissman, 53, of using their positions at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to develop a relationship with the Defense Department analyst to obtain classified information that they shared with unnamed foreign officials and reporters. The committee is the most powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington.
The grand jury said the secrets dated to 1999 and dealt with terrorist activity in Central Asia, a 1996 attack in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 U.S. servicemembers, al-Qaeda and U.S. strategy in the Middle East.
The Pentagon analyst, Lawrence Franklin, 58, had been charged earlier this year with illegally keeping more than 80 classified documents in his home in Kearneysville, W.Va. Thursday's indictment adds charges against Franklin, who had cooperated with the FBI before a plea deal fell apart. The grand jury said he also passed secrets to an unnamed foreign official "in an effort to advance his own personal foreign policy agenda."

Franklin's lawyer, Plato Cacheris, did not return phone calls. Weissman's attorney, John Nassikas, said his client denies the charges. Rosen's attorney, Abbe Lowell, called the charges "entirely unjustified."
Some of the charges against Rosen, who was AIPAC's foreign policy director, and Weissman, the group's senior Middle East analyst, are based on a July 2004 meeting between Franklin and Weissman while Franklin was an FBI informant. AIPAC fired Rosen and Weissman in April.
Daniel Ayalon, Israel's ambassador to the United States, said there is no need for Israelis to spy here because "the cooperation is so close and intense" between the U.S. and Israeli governments.
