Thanks, Umeboshi! Yes, it has surprised me how quick on the draw (and vituperative) some folks have been in expunging any reference to the alleged/purported/apparent Israeli espionage. As happens in other contexts, I think some people conflate criticism of Israel with anti-semitism  or conflate this intentionally. The ironic thing is that if all this stuff is true (as seems at least worth serious consideration), it even reflects well on Israel, as there is evidence Israel warned the US that something big was coming. All countries spy; to me, that's not such a big deal. I just want to know about it in this particular case, and feel annoyed when any discussion is stifled ""with extreme prejudice."" 

I had not managed to back up that first page, which bummed me out for a couple of days, but then I found it in Google's cache! Couldn't get the Talk page, though.

Anyway, thanks again for your support! I really appreciate it. I'm just going to make a final impertinent retort to , take a few deep breaths, and then let it go for the nonce. Take care, and best wishes to you for Christmas and the New Year!  "
