the CIA, Eichmann and Israel PDF Print E-mail
Looking for the source of the newly released CIA-reports on the delayed capture of Eichmann, I made a small but interesting discovery, about a fact overlooked in the coverage of this news. It made me write this Letter to the Editor of the Guardian yesterday, and to NRC Handelsblad in the Netherlands. The Dutch letter was published in paper's Marie José Klaver's weblog on Internet affairs.
Israel knew.

The Americans may have done nothing in 1958 when the German intelligence service informed them that Eichmann was hiding in Argentina.
The Israeli's did.
When the first news about the CIA reports appeared on the Internet earlier this week, I googled for 'Eichmann' and 'two years' in search for the source of this news.
What I found was the obituary for super-spy Isar Haral, who captured Eichmann in 1960 and abducted him to Israel. This 2003-article explains
how Harel's team of 11 that included a woman, a doctor, a skilled forger and a specialist in make-up, followed Eichman for almost two years.
The Australian paper claims it took that long to verify his identity.

Thanks to the CIA documents now released we now know there were political reasons not to capture Eichmann any earlier. But the fact that Israel
was nonetheless determined to not let him run, should have been part of your coverage. Specially since the Sydney Morning Herald named the Guardian
as one of their three sources for this article.

The Dutch version published in Marie José Klaver's weblog.

NRC-lezer en Eichmann.GIFSpinWatch-redacteur Eveline Lubbers deed een interessante ontdekking op internet. Ze schrijft het volgende naar aanleiding van een artikel over de oorlogsmisdadiger Adolf Eichmann in de krant van 7 juni jl.: “De Amerikanen hebben in 1958 misschien niets gedaan met de tip van de Duitse inlichtingendiensten dat Eichmann ondergedoken zat in Argentinië. De Israeli’s deden dat wel. Toen eerder deze week de eerste berichten over de CIA-rapporten op internet verschenen, tikte ik op zoek naar de bron ‘Eichmann’ en ‘two years’ in op Google. Wat ik toen vond was het in memoriam van super-spion Isser Haral, de man die Eichmann in 1960 uiteindelijk ontvoerde en naar Israel bracht. In dit artikel uit 2003 is te lezen hoe Haral met een team van elf mensen, waaronder een vrouw, een dokter, een meester-vervalser en een make-up specialist, Eichmann bijna twee jaar lang volgde. Volgens de Australische krant was daarna pas zeker dat de man die zich uitgaf voor Ricardo Klement inderdaad Eichmann was. Nu weten we dankzij de vrijgekomen CIA-documenten dat er politieke redenen waren om hem niet eerder op te pakken. Maar dat Israel vastbesloten was om hem niet te laten lopen, had in de berichtgeving niet mogen ontbreken.”
