This is quality journalism, a good read and a Public Service.

"I plan over the next year, before the 65th anniversary of Hiroshima, to do my part in unveiling this hidden history."-Daniel Ellsberg Me too! In 2005, the whistle blower of Israel's WMD Program, Mordechai Vanunu told me: "When I became the spy for the world, I did it all for the people of the world. If governments do not report the truth, and if the media does not report the truth, then all we can do is follow our consciences. "Daniel Ellsberg did, the woman from Enron did, and I did. The United States needs to wake up and see the truth that Israel is not a democracy, unless you are a Jew. Israel is the only country in the Middle East where America can right now find WMDs. America can also find where basic human rights have been denied Christians: right here in Israel.” Learn more @ VANUNU ARCHIVES: http://www.wearewideawake.org
