Two former employees of the powerful pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC were charged Thursday with illegally receiving classified information from a Defense Department analyst. This according to unsealed court documents. In a superseding indictment, a federal grand jury also restructured the charges against the analyst, Lawrence Franklin, who is alleged to have disclosed classified defense information to the two AIPAC employees. The new indictment charges AIPAC’s former policy director, Steven Rosen, with illegally receiving classified information from Franklin and with illegally helping Franklin pass on that information. Another former AIPAC employee, Keith Weissman, is charged with illegally receiving classified information. Weissman formerly worked for AIPAC as a senior Middle East analyst specializing on Iran. Franklin, who has pleaded not guilty, has been the subject of an FBI investigation centered on allegations that he gave classified U.S. information on Iran to AIPAC, which then passed it on to Israel. Franklin is an Air Force reservist who served in Israel and also worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency. As an Iran analyst, Franklin worked for undersecretary of Defense and leading neocon Douglas Feith.
