nuclear weapons

Despite the limited amount of time left to the Bush administration, I worry about what might happen before he leaves office. In addition to signaling that he will support an attack by Israel on Iran, he's supporting aggression within Iran right now, as detailed in Acts of War by Scott Ritter, Truthdig, July 29, http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20080729_acts_of_war/

Scott Ritter is a former UN arms inspector who accurately diagnosed, as it was taking shape, the fakery that led to the US invasion of Iraq. He's a very large ex-Marine, former Republican, and a forceful speaker. He lives right next to Albany NY's southwest border in the hamlet of Delmar, where I do my supermarket shopping, in the little town of Bethlehem (roughly 30,000 population).

I recommend that everyone read this article. Ritter's been warning of war against Iran since early 2005 and this is his latest update.

It begins with some things that have been reported before but have not been taken up by most of the media: the current US acts of war going on within Iran.

What's most interesting, however, is his account of what he says is the fabricated evidence of a nuclear weapons program in Iran, former or current.

"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."- Mordechai Vanunu to me, June 2005.

Annually, for the last twenty years Mordechai Vanunu has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. This year, Vanunu has been nominated by Bishop Desmond Tutu, who received the Nobel Prize in 1984, for his courageous and fearless opposition against the South African apartheid system.

On April 30, 2007 , in the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court, Mordechai Vanunu was convicted on 14 [out of 21] counts of violating a court order prohibiting him from speaking to foreign journalists in 2004.
