According to a September 2, 2004, New York Sun article: “Democratic Congressman John Conyers of Michigan saw in the investigation [of AIPAC, an American Jewish lobby] a much more frightening picture, one in which a ‘rogue element in the American government may have been working with a foreign government,’ that rogue element being a small group of neoconservatives connected to the office of [Undersecretary of Defense for Policy] Doug Feith. How much of a factor, if any, support for Israel played in the ultimate decision to launch the preemptive war against Iraq, a war that has proved disastrous, is still shrouded in secrecy and fog.”
