how the defense never denied the charges but argued:" the United States regularly uses AIPAC to send back-channel communications to Israel".

Therefore, a brilliant defense because it is common knowledge that AIPAC infiltration of the government is such no political leader can inhale without first checking with them. So that was a defense based on facts and reality.

The more interesting question is why would it be difficult to prove that AIPAC activities harm America?

To me it`s an easy case to make but does anyone really believe a prosecutor will show the trail that lead to all the political and military disasters caused by activities of AIPAC - for starters the Lieberman sponsorship of war resolution against Iraq? How much of that faulty intelligence came from AIPAC minions and reached Harman`s desk - as one example?

America is a lost cause and from a anthropological perspective not too surprising that the host is oblivious to the harm being done to it by smaller organisms.
