The Guardian: Alleged Israeli spying on Iran talks leaves members of Congress unmoved
* ‘Baffled’ John Boehner denies receiving information from Israel
* Senator Graham: ‘If they’re spying, they’re not telling me about it’
US politicians have downplayed a report that the Obama administration accused Israel of spying on international negotiations with Iran in order to sway members of Congress against an emerging nuclear deal.
The Wall Street Journal cited a senior administration official who accused Israeli officials of eavesdropping on the talks and obtaining information from confidential US briefings. Israeli officials then selectively leaked the information to lawmakers on Capitol Hill as part of a broader effort by the prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, to sink the deal, the official said.

WNU Editor: If true .... one has to wonder why the White House reacted in such a manner .... what details are they afraid of being leaked?

Boehner, Graham and the rest of the trained seals in the senate were surprised by such claims? One has to wonder if they were dropped on their heads as children.
It would explain a lot.
