You meant that comment to be posted as a reply to Leo Solomon

Ram, looks as if the thread would have better continuity if you replied direcctly under Leo, rather to my minor editorial comment. And in reference to my prior comment to Leo, I have to applaud the Israeli intel community for being much better at monitoring open source communications from the Arab world than anyone else. My only reservation is that one would not want any plants from the pro-Israel intel community covertly working for the US in any official capacity. And the risk of that seems to be real enough that an avoidance policy may have been implemented. But this all is speculation.
