The CIA's biggest security threat is Israel according to a new AP report...Looks like the US is getting played...
Excerpt:
CIA policy generally forbids its officers in Tel Aviv from
recruiting Israeli government sources, officials said. To do so would
require approval from senior CIA leaders, two former senior officials
said. During the Bush administration, the approval had to come from the
White House.
Israel is not America's closest ally, at least when it comes to whom
Washington trusts with the most sensitive national security information.
That distinction belongs to a group of nations known informally as the
"Five Eyes." Under that umbrella, the United States, Britain, Australia,
Canada and New Zealand agree to share intelligence and not to spy on
one another. Often, U.S. intelligence officers work directly alongside
counterparts from these countries to handle highly classified
information not shared with anyone else.
Israel is part of by a second-tier relationship known by another
informal name, "Friends on Friends." It comes from the phrase "Friends
don't spy on friends," and the arrangement dates back decades. But
Israel's foreign intelligence service, the Mossad, and its FBI
equivalent, the Shin Bet, both considered among the best in the world,
have been suspected of recruiting U.S. officials and trying to steal
American secrets.
