Scary, but makes sense...

The implication of the Franklin case is that someone - but no one is saying exactly who - either told Ahmad Chalabi that the US had broken Iran's codes or, more likely, passed him documents that proved the codes were broken. If that is the case (that is to say, if the newspaper reports on the burgeoning spy scandal are true) then someone in the US government passed on "the family jewels" to Ahmad Chalabi. If Ahmad Chalabi then passed that information on to Iran (and it seems almost certain that, if he received it, he did) then it is quite likely that Iran will have changed its codes - and that the US will no longer be able to determine whether Iran has weapons of mass destruction, is developing them, or is planning to use them on the United States. And if that is the case (and FBI investigators and CIA officers are increasingly convinced that it is the case), then George Bush cannot call his friend Ariel Sharon and tell him whether Israel is in danger. Now regardless of whether or not you think Iran is a threat to Israel is quite beside the point: no information can be far more devastating to a nation's security than the worst information. And US officials know that Israeli officials will not live with such uncertainty - lacking information about Iran's capabilities they will attack.
