ADL Seeks Investigation of "Malicious Leak"

(Ha'aretz) Nathan Gutman and Shlomo Shamir- The Anti-Defamation League has called on the Bush administration to immediately appoint a special counsel to investigate the leaks to the American media regarding suspicions of an alleged Israeli "mole" in the Pentagon. "There was a malicious and targeted leak that is more damaging than the actual allegations of Israeli spying - allegations that in all likelihood are baseless," Abraham Foxman, the national director of the ADL, told Ha'aretz. "The ADL will demand appointing a commission of inquiry to make every effort in identifying which official or officials are behind the leak," said Foxman. "Someone in the hierarchy is trying to ruin relations between Israel and the administration and between Israel and the Jewish community....We cannot accept a situation where the identity of the person or persons responsible for the leak remains anonymous and no one takes responsibility for this foolish act." He noted that all the allegations raised in the last few years of spying by Israel against the U.S. were revealed to be lies.
