(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - The second Newsweek article on Israel's alleged spying efforts in the U.S. embarrasses its author and sources. As anyone who has ever worked in Washington and with the White House knows, American analysis of events pertaining to foreigners is at times distorted or even downright mistaken. The U.S. intelligence community, which eavesdrops on every corner of the world, has a tendency to judge the actions of others as if they were undertaken by Americans. The best example is the incident regarding Israel's alleged attempt to place a spy in then-vice-president Al Gore's hotel room, citing a Secret Service man who encounters someone as he was removing an air conditioning vent. If Israeli intelligence wanted to spy against Al Gore, it could have done so in numerous ways, especially while he was in Israel. It was probably a hotel maintenance worker taking care of the AC system in anticipation of the visit of a senior figure. 2014-05-12 00:00:00Full Article
