From Jeffrey Goldberg, discussing the Laura Rozen piece in which certain anonymous sources are quoted as questioning Dennis Ross's loyalty: Politico Story Suggests Dennis Ross is Treasonous

Laura Rozen allows an anonymous Administration official to hijack her blog and accuse the National Security Council's Dennis Ross of dual-loyalty...

...An alternative explanation might be that Ross, who is a well-known critic of Netanyahu's, understands the internal dynamics of Netanyahu's dysfunctional coalition, and is looking for smart ways for President Obama to manipulate the situation so that progress -- not merely rhetorical progress, but actual progress -- can be made, both in bringing about the territorial compromise needed for peace, and in stopping Iran from going nuclear. But in today's neo-Lindberghian climate, if a Jewish Administration official suggests a course of action that can be interpreted in any way as sympathetic to Israel, he will be called a dual-loyalist, in this case by a coward hiding behind a screen of anonymity erected by Politco.

This is exactly what worries me most of all about the poisonous environment, and which I commented on in my post.

Dennis Ross now? Unbelievable.
