On numerous occasions, leaks about U.S. intelligence operations, particularly those against al Qaeda, have damaged our ability to safeguard our nation. They also have endangered the lives of intelligence operatives and informants. So it s hard not to be alarmed by a letter to Congress the Justice Department recently released - a letter indicating that Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, Vermont Democrat, is seeking covert intelligence information.
Ten years ago, upheaval, hope and dreams of a better future swept through the streets of the Egyptian capital, Cairo. Today, there is nothing left but fading memories, writes Farida Layl .
It is a well-known Egyptian proverb: Once you drink from the Nile, you are destined to return. I had the privilege of serving as an Israeli diplomat in Cairo, Egypt, on two diplomatic tours. On my first tour, I came to see Cairo as my second home; that was one of the reasons I chose to return for my second.
An Israeli diplomatic tour in Cairo is like no other. We are tasked with building the carefully cultivated peace between Israel and Egypt, hard-won after five wars and thousands of casualties.
In the heart of Cairo is the 6th of October Panorama, a museum and memorial to the 1973 Yom Kippur War. It showcases the Egyptian narrative of that war, which set the stage for the peace between Egypt and Israel and Egypt’s reclamation of the Sinai. I used to frequent the venue. One of my favorite experiences was meeting school children out on field trips.I would smile. They’d smile back, even when I introduced myself as Israeli. They would hold out their hands in peace.
