Ten Questions

Many questions are raised by the Harman/AIPAC/Wiretapping story, and here's the rundown of the ten questions America should demand answers to, and related questions I've come up with:

1) Who wiretapped Harman's conversation and why? Was it Harman being investigated? Was she being tapped by an abusive Bush NSA, or was it the Israeli being tapped for the AIPAC spy case? Was there another reason?

2) How much influence does AIPAC have over Democrats in Congress? Harman believed that helping AIPAC could pay off with the House Intelligence Committee chair. Is this leak from somebody who wants to see AIPAC hurt?

3) How did Alberto Gonzales decide to use this tap against Harman to blackmail her to support Bush's wiretapping program? Did the NSA clue him in?

4) How many other members of Congress were tapped? How many still are being tapped?

5) Who decided to leak the story? Was it the intel community risking the knowledge that they were wiretapping Harman to gain retribution for Obama's torture memo leak, or did somebody in the Obama administration hang Harman out to dry to play hardball with AIPAC? Or, was it a third party doing their patriotic duty to shine sunlight on this whole rotten thing?

6) What will Obama do at this point if it's clear that Gonzo broke the law? Will he still refuse to prosecute Bush officials? Will Eric Holder call for an investigation?

7) What will Congress do? Will they hold hearings on this issue? Will they call for investigations of Gonzales?

8) What will Jane Harman do? Will she be pressured to resign? Will she be charged? Will the case be reopened by Eric Holder?

9) How will Israel react to this? Will anyone in the Holder DoJ dare risk investigating Israeli spying? Will Bibi Netanyahu start playing fair with Obama or will Israel play hardball back?

10) And finally, just how deep does this rabbit hole go?
