...cynic might suspect that one arm of the Government had protected another. The CIA swore to Attorney General Dick Thornburgh that if Joseph Fernandez, its former station chief in Costa Rica, were to use certain classified documents to defend himself at his Iran-contra trial, the nation's security would be endangered.

In the context of arguing against equating Zionism with racism, I wrote, "Let us not forget the wisdom of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., an ardent supporter of the State of Israel, who warned that anti-Zionism often acts as a shield for anti-Semitism."
