It rests now on a single statement Patrick Dorton, a contracted spokesman for AIPAC, made to the New York Times in March 2008: that Rosen, AIPAC’s former foreign policy chief, had been fired in March 2005  because he “did not comport with standards that AIPAC expects of its employees.”</p> <p>Rosen was fired seven months after FBI agents raided AIPAC offices in a classified information investigation. Rosen and another AIPAC employee were indicted on charges of relaying national defense information, although the charges were later dropped.</p> <p>During the pretrial period, motions showed that AIPAC, while initially supportive of the two employees, had come under government pressure to fire them. <em>— jta</em></p>
