Hugo Young rants about the Jewish Conspiracy in America:

Only in Washington does one get a true sense of the obsession of these Pentagon civilians. Conversationally, it is common talk that some of them, not including Rumsfeld, are as much Israeli as American nationalists. Behind nervous confiding hands come sardonic whispers of an American outpost of Likud. Most striking of all, however, is how unmentionable this is in the American liberal press. The aura of a dirty little secret surrounds the possibility - the perfectly intelligible and even reasonable possibility - that the emotional thrust of the anti-Saddam campaign, from the most hawkish hawks, contemplates the security of one country, Israel, which he really threatens, more than that of another, the US itself, which his weapons of mass destruction have no chance of reaching.

One gets the sense that he's talking to some pretty left-wing whack-jobs here, which is no surprise. Birds of a feather, and all that.
