--Alleged AIPAC informant promoted--

The Bush administration promoted David Satterfield, an alleged informant for a former AIPAC lobbyist facing trial in a classified information case.

The State Department last week announced Satterfield’s promotion to senior adviser on Iraq to Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state.

Satterfield was promoted from deputy ambassador to Baghdad.

Satterfield is cited in the indictment against Steve Rosen, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s former foreign policy director, and Keith Weissman, its former Iran analyst, as one of three government officials who shared information with Rosen.

Satterfield is described as meeting with Rosen in 2002, when Satterfield was second in command at the State Department’s Near East desk.

Prosecutors refuse to explain why Satterfield escaped prosecution for leaking information.
