The Connection Between the Israeli and U. S. Intelligence Communities.

We look at the connection between the Israeli and U.S. intelligence communities.
We first talk with journalists Andrew and Leslie Cockburn. Their new book, "Dangerous Liaison," alleges the two nations relationship extends far beyond the Mideast, into areas like the war against drugs, the South African nuclear weapons program, and the Contras. (The book's published by Harper Collins).
We also talk with Benny Morris, co
author of the book, "Israel's Secret Wars: A History of Israeli's Intelligence Services." Morris is an historian and a fellow at the Brookings Institute. (That book's co-authored with Ian Black and published by Grove Weidenfeld).
