Israel 60 years on: The Filth and the Fury

[HoreTore]

A hero? To the entire world no less?

Only the loony left considers him a hero, and the loony left has many worthless heroes. Mordechai Vanunu, in turn, has only loony supporters. Well alright, except Susannah York, the renowned analyst of Middle Eastern affairs. Oh, and dr Mia Farrow, professor of Political Science at Hollywood University.

Actually, the only ones I've ever heard call him a traitor before are our very own right-wing nutters(and I mean real nutters, they'd make the republicans look like lefties).

Anyway Adrian, you support the notion that countries should have the right to develop nuclear bombs in complete secrecy? You don't consider it your right to know when your government is making weaponry that can wipe out the population of the earth...?

National security can go to hell on that one. If my government is doing something like that, I see it as my bloody right to know so.

Calling Vanunu a threat to national security is about as ridiculous as calling the guy who exposed Abu Ghraib a threat to national security. But no wait, the Abu Ghraib scandal *did* cost the lives of quite a few soldiers due to increased guerilla attacks. What Vanunu did has resulted in what? Was it "ABSOLUTELY NOT A SINGLE THING" you said? Then how on earth can it be a matter of national security if it didn't cause a single attack on israel?
