On today’s front page of The New York Times, Mark Mazzetti and Helene Cooper wrote a piece titled, “Israel Stance Was Undoing of Nominee for Intelligence Post.” It’s certainly worth reading.

Our own Ira Forman gave his insight:

Forman, executive director of the National Jewish Democratic Council.
