"If it was legit the Israelis would be better off saying nothing. Possible disinformation on their part to create suspicion within AQ-Iraq."

No, the damage was done when the actual letter itself was published...because that letter was couried via Hamas inside Israel or Hezbollah inside Lebanon.

Either way, Al Qaeda knew to whom and how they sent their own letter. Once that letter was published, they knew that the Mossad rules Hamas/Hezbollah.

So publishing that letter caused problems for Israel's penetration of Hamas/Hezbollah (read: purge).

Judging the article: There are only "sources" and "officials" who verify the claim. I am sick of this, and FR readers should be too. If the Times (which is historically and notoriously anti-Israel, and is now anti-USA war effort in Iraq) can't name a source, it shouldn't print the article.

I am beginning to believe the story is fiction. I don't think the Mossad would be that stupid to leak it to the press.

US released the doc in October, right? This is April.
Why the article now?

The mole would have been caught, or rescued, by now.

"Could the Israelis have a mole inside AQ in Iraq.."

Not anymore..

The Israeli mole could be just about anybody in al Qaeda's Iraqi operation. If Zarqawi has any common sense, he needs to be executing operatives by the dozen in the coming weeks. Can't be too careful.

TREASON! MSM SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN AND ALL REPORTERS HUNG AS... oh, the leak came from the Bush Administration. Well then, I suppose that ruining months of intelligence-gathering is a-ok.

Idiots.

I have a feeling arrests are coming down in the NSA leak case. These leak stories are just premptive strikes to obfuscate the issue.

"See...everybody does it!" "How dare this leak filled administration arrest good democrats under such circumstances?!"

Hmmm, reading between the lines, you have to wonder if they're not ticked off about a few other things -- such as US squabbling about what to do with Iran.
