David S. Cloud reports in today's New York Times that DDTC (which Cloud refers to by its previous moniker) is looking into Israel's use of cluster munitions in Lebanon. In doing so he understates the importance of the Arms Export Control Act by calling it an "agreement" which it is not. AECA is statutory law, duly enacted by Congress and approved by the president.
Whether Israel complies with the AECA is not a new issue.
