Sent to you by Sean McBride via Google Reader: IRmep Launches the "Israel Lobby Archive" via Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy on 10/18/08 The Israel Lobby Archive is an independent research unit located at The Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy in Washington DC. The Archive collects and publishes declassified documents about the Israel lobby, many obtained through Freedom of Information Act filings with law enforcement and intelligence agencies and IRmep directed declassification processes. The Archive also serves as a repository for records that briefly enter the pubic domain through court actions or investigative journalism only to vanish into obscurity for lack of sustained mainstream press coverage. The Archive is dedicated to preserving and contextualizing historical records about the Israel lobby's operations in the US, bypassing media filters and educating concerned Americans, students and researchers through enhanced direct access to both recent and older primary source material. Initial documents now available for public download include: *Israel's Secret US Public Relations Plan* *AIPAC Forming and Directing Political Action Committee Candidate Donations* AIPAC Founder Ordered to Re-register as a Foreign Agent The Senate Foreign Relations Committee Investigates Israel DOJ Orders Israel Lobby Umbrella to Register as Foreign Agents AIPAC executives and DOD employee Indicted Things you can do from here: - Subscribe to Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy using Google Reader - Get started using Google Reader to easily keep up with all your favorite sites
