"Defense Memo Warned of Israeli Spying."
A DoD security office issued a confidential warning
in October that the Israeli government was
"aggressively" trying to steal U. S. military and
intelligence secrets, partly by using its "strong
ethnic ties" to the United States to recruit spies.
It described Israel as a "non-traditional adversary"
in the world of espionage, noting similar
intelligence "threats" from other close allies such as
France, Italy, Japan, Germany, and Britain.
"Relaxed CIA Covert Action Rules Urged."
A private, blue-ribbon task force is urging policymakers
to consider allowing the CIA to resume sending out spies
posing as American journalists or members of the clergy
and lifting the ban on certain covert actions such as
those designed to prevent terrorist attacks or support
the overthrow of hostile regimes.
