Gates, in Visit to Israel, Will Find Iran Looming
The official, who asked not to be named under Defense Department
ground rules, said that the trip was part of a regular consultation
and that Mr. Gates was not traveling to Israel “to roll out a map
and do contingency planning for some strike on Iran.”
Israel has made it clear that it could strike plants at the heart of
Iran’s nuclear program, although it has agreed to the Obama
administration’s policy of first trying to engage Iran in talks.
President Obama has given Iran until late September to accept an
offer of talks to give up its nuclear ambitions, and until the end
of the year to show some progress on the issue.
A Middle East analyst familiar with Israeli thinking said that the
meetings were expected to be more about coordination and reassurance
that the United States stood by Israel and that it was too soon to
get into discussions of any military action.
The Obama administration has sent mixed messages on
its views of an Israeli strike. Top Pentagon officials, including
Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have
said repeatedly that an Israeli strike on Iran would be
destabilizing to the region.
But this month, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. said that the
United States “cannot dictate” Israel’s decision on military action.
Two days later, Mr. Obama told CNN that the United States was
“absolutely not” giving Israel its approval for a strike.
New Biden Criticism Surprises Russia
Speaking on the heels of his trip to Georgia and Ukraine, Mr. Biden
said flatly that the Obama administration would make no deals and
accept no compromises with the Kremlin in exchange for better
relations. Russia itself, he said, should find it in its own
interest to repair relations.
The Kremlin immediately responded to the comments, made in an
interview with The Wall Street Journal, with a demand for a
clarification of the administration’s intentions toward Russia,
saying essentially that it was receiving a mixed message so soon
after President Obama had visited Moscow for the summit meeting.
Calling the criticism “perplexing” in light of the diplomatic
overtures initiated by the United States and described as “pressing
the reset button,” the chief foreign policy adviser to President
Dmitri A. Medvedev told the Interfax news agency, “The question is:
who is shaping the U.S. foreign policy, the president or respectable
members of his team?”
The adviser, Sergei Prikhodko, said the atmosphere between the
countries had improved since Mr. Obama’s visit early this month. “If
some members of Obama’s team and government do not like this
atmosphere, why don’t they say so?” ... “If they disagree with the
course of their president, we just need to know this.”
In the interview, Mr. Biden set aside diplomatic finesse and offered
an unflinching analysis of the state of affairs in Russia.
Israeli sources funneled US laundering team
The source of at least some of the millions of dollars involved in
alleged money-laundering by the rabbis arrested came from Israeli
sources, The Jerusalem Post reported on Sunday.
Five rabbis are among 44 people charged by a US court
with corruption and money laundering.
Court documents show that Eliyahu Ben Haim used a source in Israel
to supply money in the US in exchange for a 1.5 percent fee.
Prosecutors say another rabbi, Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, convinced
people in Israel to donate their kidneys for one-sixteenth of the
price they were later sold.
The FBI has charged another suspect -- Levi Deutsch -- with funding
bank checks that were passed through charities run by the rabbis.

American al-Qaeda's confessions declassified
A US court declassifies papers detailing a confessed American
al-Qaeda operative's mission for a militant attack on New York's
railroad system.
The documents, which were publicized earlier in the week, shed light
on Bryant Neal Vinas' January trial in which he had confessed to
briefing al-Qaeda on the technicalities of the raid.
"I consulted with a senior al-Qaeda leader and provided detailed
information about the operation of the Long Island Rail Road system
which I knew because I had ridden the railroad on many occasions,"
he had said at the hearing, ABC News reported on Friday.
He added "the purpose of providing this information was to help plan
a bomb attack on the Long Island Rail Road system."
In 2007, the 26-year-old American citizen went to Pakistan before
joining the Taliban and al-Qaeda-led groups. During the membership,
Vinas took part in missile raids on US contingents in Afghanistan.
Pakistani forces reportedly delivered Vinas to the Americans last
November.
American intelligence sources have claimed there could be a secret
network inside the US that aids the transfer of Americans into
al-Qaeda.

Train crash in Iran leaves three dead
At least three people have been killed and two others injured when a
passenger train slammed into another on the outskirts of the Iranian
capital, Tehran. The accident happened when the passenger
train en route from Iran's northeastern city of Mashhad to Tehran
hit a maintenance train on the line near the town of Varamin.
No official count of the dead has yet been announced by the
authorities.
US envoy holds Syria talks
George Mitchell, the US Middle East envoy, has held talks with
Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, as the US steps up diplomatic
efforts for peace in the Middle East.
The talks kicked-off on Sunday and Mitchell was due to continue to
Israel and the Palestinian territories later in the day.
Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, is also due in the region on
Sunday, compounding US diplomatic efforts to kick-start a regional
peace deal.
Mitchell's talks with al-Assad were aimed at "trying to see what
Syria's prepared to do ... to move towards a comprehensive process,"
Philip Crowley, a US state department spokesman, said ahead of the
visit. "We're also trying to develop ... bilateral issues that we
have with the Syrians as well. I would imagine both of those will
come up."
U.S. kicks economic diplomacy with China up a notch
Next week's talks with China will bring the U.S. State Department in
as a partner with the Treasury Department on Washington's side for
the first time since former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson
initiated regular talks in 2005.
By expanding the dialogue in this way, the Obama administration
hopes to settle China's wariness that Washington's motive was to
keep Beijing in its place, rather than to recognize the country's
rising might. The Strategic Economic Dialogue has been symbolically
renamed the Strategic and Economic Dialogue, to cover the gamut of
issues from climate change and North Korea to trade and exchange
rates.
A key American goal is to persuade Beijing that debt-strapped
Americans will not be able to absorb China's cheap exports as they
did in the past. Officials in Washington say both countries need to
work to restore global economic balance and whittle away at a U.S.
trade gap long considered unsustainable.
