What Washington really wants is a totally obedient, obsequious Pakistan -- not a real ally. This is self-defeating, imperial bullying. The interests of the two nations must at times diverge.

It is unlikely the US will completely cut Iraq loose. Washington seems to be following the same control model set up in the 1920's by the British Empire to secure Mesopotamia's oil.

Wiesenthal working with, or for, or being paid by, Mossad?

Please, this cannot be a surprise.

Nor does it really change anything.

I guess because of the nature of his job, I don't find this surprising. Nazi tracker to spy? Ooooh, I thought he was *just* a Nazi tracker.

This just sort of gets a shrugged "so?" out of me. Segev was right when he said "This requires us to adjust in some small way our view of history." A "small way" indeed.

hmm. Sometimes a spy agency will embellish an agent's background.
