Concerning Israel pre-emptive bombing of Arab nuclear reactors, well, some
things don't change[1].

In addition to speaking out about civil right violations of Muslim and
Arab Americans[2], Nader has been taking the Israeli gov't and AIPAC to
task, and is taking heat for it[3,4].

It would be interesting to compare the political influence and espionage
work of AIPAC with the US Communist Party's of a few decades past, and
contrast the US governemnt's respondes in comprable situations.  The media
coverage is noticably different.  Compare "Reds! Reds! Reds!: Soviet spy
found in War Department!" with "Israel, Iran Trade Threats As FBI
Investigates Spying: U.S. Ally Said to Have Received Documents on Tehran".
Remember, Soviet Russia was a US ally before the spy games of the Cold
War.  Which makes me wonder, maybe you can serve your country, Jon, by
"infiltrating the Zionist plot occuring on America's soil".  I hear the
FBI is hiring[5].  That or Newseek.  Speaking of which Newseek's
reporting Osama got lost[6] and is blaming MapQuest-dot-com.
