Description

CHARLES FREEMAN JR.'s withdrawal of his acceptance of a high-level intelligence position in the Obama administration was a national-security drama more riveting than an episode of "24." The moral was clear: even a president who owes his job to a progressive movement in American politics could not support a longtime public servant who had made the mistake of criticizing Israel. Fierce advocates of the Jewish state, notably Sens. Chuck Schumer and Joe Lieberman and Reps. Eric Cantor and Steve Israel, played important roles in Freeman's exit, while present and former officials of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee flitted in and out of the wings. The message to all office-seekers is obvious. "They want to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. They want other people to be intimidated," Freeman told The American Conservative just before he withdrew his name to be chairman of the National Intelligence Council. He went on, "If the administration does not stick with me, then it's destroying the argument that the Israel lobby is only a mythic entity and does not control the public space.... It will show the world that it is not able to exercise independent thinking on these issues."
