We don't even know where to start regarding Rep. Harman's PUTTING THE INTERESTS of the ISRAEL ("aipac") LOBBY _over_ and ahead of the NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS of the UNITED STATES... but will start with this link, which points out that by URGING the JEWISH-OWNED NEW YORK TIMES _NOT_ to publish the ILLEGAL WIRETAPPING and WHOLESALE SURVIELLANCE story in the fall of 2004, Rep. Harman ROBBED TENS of MILLIONS of _Democratic_ voters, activists, donors & supporters of a LEGITIMATE CAMPAIGN ISSUE to be used by Democrats against the Bush-Cheney 2004 re-election campaign... by SQUELCHING public discourse of that "ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE" issue in the pages of the "paper of record," Ms. Harman and the Times THEREBY ENABLED the Bush-Cheney campaign THEFT of Ohio's electoral votes in election 2005 (Ohio's electoral votes "counted" on computer servers... housed in Tennessee, the SAME servers that the Republican Party used to run their 2004 campaigns and data-banks)- and thus ENABLED the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign to STEAL the presidential election of 2004.
TIME AFTER TIME, the "inside-DC" "Democrat" PARTY ARE IN LEAGUE with the ISRAEL LOBBY, the WAR LOBBY, the TORTURE LOBBY, the SURVEILLANCE lobby, the BIG FINANCE, telecom, banking, credit-extortion, and anti-union lobbies.... ENTIRE SWATHS of the "Democrat" "leadership" POSE as "DEMOCRATIC," but RULE as RIGHT-WING, PRO-WAR, POLICE-STATE REPUBLICANS.
And this story also illustrates how THE ISRAEL LOBBY - A FOREIGN POWER - is IN LEAGUE, IN BED with, ALL the above anti-DEMOCRATIC, DICTATORIAL, CONCENTRATION-of-POWERS-in-the-RULING-class issues.
Needless to say, finding America's press, media, Congress, & government SUBSERVIENT to a desires & interests of a FOREIGN NATION is outrageous, disturbing, and un-American:

< One of the major points of intrigue in the unfolding Jane Harman/wiretapping scandal, is whether or not Representative Harman did, as Congressional Quarterly contends, play a role in helping to keep a New York Times expose on wiretapping out of the paper until the 2004 election is over.
From CQ:
According to two officials privy to the events, Gonzales said he "needed Jane" to help support the administration's warrantless wiretapping program, which was about to be exposed by the New York Times.
Harman, he told Goss, had helped persuade the newspaper TO HOLD THE WIRETAP STORY before, on the eve of the 2004 elections....
