This cable isn't really anything that I or many others were not already aware of, but it is interesting that the media is ignoring this Wikileaks cable.
This cable on Israeli mafia's influence in global high-tech security services draws clear connections between the possibility of Israel's role in taking full advantage of false flag terrorism in order to offer security services to airports, and other critical infrastructure.

"Israel, A Promised Land for Organized Crime?" – sent by our embassy in Tel Aviv, which deals with the rising influence of Israeli organized crime:
I love how the pundits are yawning over the latest WikiLeaks revelations: oh, there’s nothing to see here, it’s all so boring, no "smoking gun," so let’s just move right along. These people are just plain lazy: they want "scoops" delivered to their front doors, all neatly packaged and labeled as such.
"As recently as March 2009, Zvika Ben Shabat, Yaacov Avitan, and Tzuri Roka requested visas to attend a ‘security-related convention’ in Las Vegas. According to local media reports, all three had involvement with OC. Post asked the applicants to provide police reports for any criminal records in Israel, but without such evidence there is no immediate ineligibility for links to OC. Luckily, all three have so far failed to return for continued adjudication of their applications. Nevertheless, it is fair to assume that many known OC figures hold valid tourist visas to the United States and travel freely."
What are organized crime figures doing showing up at a "security-related convention" in Las Vegas? Well, it seems Mr. Zvika Ben Shabat is the President of "H.A.Sh Security Group," an Israeli company that offers security services worldwide.
Israel’s hi-tech military sector is booming in the midst of a world economic downturn, and the "homeland security" industry is something they’ve jumped into head first, as Governor Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania knows all too well. It was Rendell who hired them to oversee Pennsylvania’s security – until it was revealed they were spying on legal citizens groups who were protesting the construction of a local power plant. Israeli "security" firms are operating all over the US, as well as abroad, in airports, and government facilities, and if Israeli organized crime is now a factor in that booming industry, then surely that’s a major security concern – or ought to be.
Cameron’s four-part Fox News investigation into Israeli spying in the US seemed to posit a connection between the Israeli government and the Israeli Mafia, and, thanks to WikiLeaks, we can now see the link made visible. The Gen. Ronen-Ben Shabat connection, through the H.A.Sh Security Group, shows Cameron’s reporting was based on more than a mere suspicion. Given the additional information provided by this cable, it is reasonable to believe a corrupted segment of the Israeli military-law enforcement establishment has literally gone into business with Israeli organized crime.
If that isn’t scary — and newsworthy — I don’t know what is. Yet our laid-back pundits, and "journalists" — who want a story delivered on a silver platter — complain that there’s nothing really new to be found in the WikiLeaks cables.
That’s because they aren’t looking.

It is not a matter of how easy it is to get the story, it is a matter of who owns the majority of the media outlets in the U.S. You can say what ever you want about the President, but if you make a comment that can even be misconstrued as antisemetic, your job in journalism is done.

i dont know how expressing a perspective to another current member is pushing your buttons.as if i tailored it for you, knowing your eyes were to come across it?
right wing governments are at war with other right wing political entities globaly, wich has nothing to do with the libels that are being thrown around any more than stating blackwater is us, not a private merc group.
and as far as peace goes, as it pertains to us it has nothing to do with israel, and for israel it has nothing to do with anything other than the palestinians.
it can push buttons to link behaviors of the few to the many. - 1 year ago

Then you do not understand the Internet.
All the papers have the info, it is a mutual agreement to release a few stories a day to have maximum impact.
I actually suggested this to Wikileaks myself not long after the last data dump. I dunno if they had planned it like this or they actually listened to me but I'm glad it is being done this way.

I'm still pretty much in agreement with you tvedell about the veracity of some of these leaks. The media definitely manipulated the some stories to fit the pro-war agenda and that made it questionable right off the bat. If WIkileaks was in fact getting real leaks then there is no doubt that there would be at least a few worthwile gems in what they put out
But I have heard of other individuals and organizations who work in some capacity of intelligence that mention getting leaks that are purposeful disinformation and/or misinformation, so they don't even bother with them. That may or may not be the case here. I suppose the jury is still out.
Hell, this story may not even be accurate, or it may only be partly accurate, but based on what is already known about the Israeli security company ICTS was being run by individuals with white-collar criminal backgrounds, this story is most likely accurate.
And it's going to take a long while to sift through the entire dump and I don't think the even an organization as large as CNN or FOX could even go through and verify the entire leak in just a few days. I know I don't have the time to go through all of the data.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
CARL CAMERON, FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Los Angeles, 1997, a major local, state and federal drug investigating sours. The suspects: Israeli organized crime with operations in New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Canada, Israel and Egypt. The allegations: cocaine and ecstasy trafficking, and sophisticated white-collar credit card and computer fraud.
The problem: according to classified law enforcement documents obtained by Fox News, the bad guys had the cops’ beepers, cell phones, even home phones under surveillance. Some who did get caught admitted to having hundreds of numbers and using them to avoid arrest.
"This compromised law enforcement communications between LAPD detectives and other assigned law enforcement officers working various aspects of the case. The organization discovered communications between organized crime intelligence division detectives, the FBI and the Secret Service."
Shock spread from the DEA to the FBI in Washington, and then the CIA. An investigation of the problem, according to law enforcement documents, concluded, "The organization has apparent extensive access to database systems to identify pertinent personal and biographical information."
When investigators tried to find out where the information might have come from, they looked at Amdocs, a publicly traded firm based in Israel. Amdocs generates billing data for virtually every call in America, and they do credit checks. The company denies any leaks, but investigators still fear that the firm's data is getting into the wrong hands.
When investigators checked their own wiretapping system for leaks, they grew concerned about potential vulnerabilities in the computers that intercept, record and store the wiretapped calls. A main contractor is Comverse Infosys, which works closely with the Israeli government, and under a special grant program, is reimbursed for up to 50 percent of its research and development costs by Israel's Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Asked this week about another sprawling investigation and the detention of 60 Israeli since Sept. 11, the Bush administration treated the questions like hot potatoes.
