Condoleezza Rice Accused of Leaking Classified Info on Iran

HeadlineApr 24, 2006

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has been accused of leaking highly classified military intelligence on Iran to a pro-Israel lobbyist in the same manner that landed a lower-level Pentagon official a 12-year prison sentence. The allegation surfaced on Friday in the case of two former lobbyists from AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The lobbyists are charged with receiving and disclosing national defense information. Lawyers for the men asked a federal judge to subpoena Rice to testify in order to show that top Bush administration officials approved of disclosing sensitive information to the defendants and that the leaks may have been authorized.
