Dumb Mossad stories

"Secondly, if the indictments filed against Israeli journalist Anat Kamm on Wednesday prove true, it would appear that about 2,000 classified Israeli military documents, including 700 marked "secret" and "top secret", were copied and remained undetected in private possession for years. These are all documents whose content could "gravely damage state security and endanger the lives of both soldiers and Israeli civilians", in the words of counter-intelligence agency Shin Beth's chief, Yuval Diskin. According to a report in leading Israeli daily Yediot Ahronoth, this affair is likely the "most severe in Israeli history as far as the damage it could have caused to the country's security". Needless to say, it constitutes a blow to Israeli deterrence at a time when tensions in the region are high and rising." (thanks Sultan)
