Here is my WikiLeak article for Thursday, March 8th. This WikiLeak from the Global Intelligence Files is an email from a CIA source regarding whether he believes the USA or Israel would strike Iran in the near future. The CIA source goes on to talk about how Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, wouldn't attack Iran in the near future not because he doesn't want to, but because Obama wouldn't want him to. The CIA source talks of how Obama is very patient when it comes to international relations and only desires to take military action when his nation is directly threatened. Furthermore, the CIA source talks of how Netanyahu wouldn't want to challenge Obama, especially earlier on in their relationship. This specific leak was part of a package of leaks regarding the assasinations of an Iranian nuclear scientists. The information regarding these assassinations were very obscure though and difficult to follow.
Questions for discussion: What should be done about the current situation in the Middle East? Are the American lives being lost right now worth the protection of Israel? How did America's once amiable relationship with Iran sour?
