Our guests are the co-authors of Every Spy a Prince: The Complete History of
Israel's Intelligence Community, and under Mr. Buckley's questioning they tell us things
we would never even have thought to ask. YM: "Friendly nations do spy against each
other. They share information, they collaborate, yet at the same time they spy against
each other." WFB: "Well, (a) I know this, and (b) I approve of it. That is to say,
however intimate Israeli-American relations become, it seems to me only prudent that to
the extent that we can get information about Israel that Israel hasn't given us, we proceed
to listen for it, and vice versa." . . . DR: "When it comes to operational capabilities,
simply getting a job done, I've heard it repeatedly from CIA veterans: 'Nobody does it
like the Israelis.' ... But we still look at the strategy behind it and find that often it is
flawed. The politicians are listening to their intelligence agencies, and we think that it's
about time for better control."
