The second-highest US diplomat in Baghdad has been implicated in the so-called AIPAC Spy scandal. The New York Times reports that the diplomat, David Satterfield is one of the anonymous government officials cited in an Aug. 4 indictment as having provided classified information to an employee of the pro-Israel lobbying group. According to the paper, in early 2002, Satterfield discussed secret national security matters in two meetings with Steven Rosen, who has since been dismissed as a top lobbyist for AIPAC. Rosen has been charged in the case. It is unclear how Iraqis will react to the news. Many in Iraq already believe that the US is working in constant collusion with Israel.
