"...as though someone forgot to change the name or something. AIPAC? .. Is that how this stuff works?"

Al Kamen asks in the WaPo, here

"....Speaking of Iran and that region, House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) and Minority WhipEric Cantor (R-Va.) sent out a "Dear Colleague" e-mail Tuesday asking for signatures "to the attached letter toPresident Obama regarding the Middle East peace process."

The letter says the usual stuff, emphasizing that Washington "must be both a trusted mediator and a devoted friend to Israel" and noting: "Israel will be taking the greatest risks in any peace agreement."

Curiously, when we opened the attachment, we noticed it was named "AIPAC Letter Hoyer Cantor May 2009.pdf."

Seems as though someone forgot to change the name or something. AIPAC? The American Israel Public Affairs Committee? Is that how this stuff works?
