Larry Franklin Incrimnates AIPAC
Pentagon Analyst Admits Passing Info To Israel
A top Pentagon analyst pleaded guilty Wednesday to giving classified information to an Israeli diplomat and members of a pro-Israel lobbying group, saying he did it because he was frustrated with U.S. government policy.
Lawrence A. Franklin, 58, faces up to 25 years of prison, though he would likely serve less time.
Franklin said during the plea hearing that he was frustrated with a government policy that he did not specify, so he leaked classified information to two members of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. He said he hoped the two would provide the information to contacts of theirs on the National Security Council and possibly get the policy changed.
