AIPAC’s Fed Candidate Stanley Fischer on a Warpath against Iran

The rushed campaign to insert Stanley Fischer straight from his position leading Israel’s central bank into the number two spot at the Federal Reserve has allowed little time for research into the appointee’s career or for informed public debate about his record.
