I BELIEVE IRAN HAS A CLANDESTINE AGENT-OF-INFLUENCE BURROWED IN ACADEMIA: And His Name is Alan Dershowitz

Oh, now he tells us, just weeks after a pivotal election in which he backed the most virulently anti-Israel president in U.S. history.

President's Nomination of Hagel May Encourage Iran's Nuclear Ambitions

by Alan M. Dershowitz - January 7, 2013 at 1:30 pm

President Obama's nomination of Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense risks increasing the likelihood that Iran will develop nuclear weapons. It poses that risk because Hagel is well known for his opposition both to sanctions against Iran and to employing the military option if necessary.

These views are inconsistent with the very different views expressed by President Obama. The President has emphasized on numerous occasions that he will never allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons and will use military force if necessary to prevent that "game changer."

The nomination of Hagel thus sends a mixed message to the mullahs in Tehran, who will likely interpret it as a change from a red light to a yellow or green one when it comes to their desire to develop nuclear weapons... This is the wrong time to send mixed messages by nominating a man who has, at best, a mixed record with regard to sanctions and the military option against Iran and with regard to having Israel's back.

I can come to no other conclusion that Dershowitz is a clandestine agent for Iran, with op-eds like these serving as cover.

Well, it's either that or he's a delusional, progressive hack.
