From The Washington Post:
Mistrust between the Obama administration and Benjamin Netanyahu has widened even further in recent days because of U.S. suspicion that the Israeli prime minister has authorized leaks of details about the U.S. nuclear talks with Iran.
The decision to reduce the exchange of sensitive information about the Iran talks was prompted by concerns that Netanyahu’s office had given Israeli journalists sensitive details of the U.S. position, including a U.S. offer to allow Iran to enrich uranium with 6,500 or more centrifuges as part of a final deal.
Obama administration officials believed these reports were misleading because the centrifuge numbers are part of a package that includes the size of the Iranian nuclear stockpile and the type of centrifuges that are allowed to operate. A deal that allowed 500 advanced centrifuges and a large stockpile of enriched uranium might put Iran closer to making a bomb than one that permitted 10,000 older machines and a small stockpile, the administration argues.

Netanyahu is doing all he can to scuttle the Iran nuclear talks, even engaging in classic Republican lying campaigns. It's at least reassuring to hear that he is now no longer getting the same level of secret info from the U.S regarding a possible deal.
It's infuriating to watch an Israeli Prime Minister side with Boehner, who sides with the Koch brothers, whose empire was created by selling oil to Hitler and Stalin. It's disgraceful - a shande.
