"Israel's Secret Weapon" - worldlinktv

just saw the docu on WorldlinkTV last night http://www.worldlinktv.org on the dish satellite. It was pretty fascinating. Anyone catch it?

It's obviously about Israel's nuclear weapon program and touched on the chemical and bio weapons that they have. The BBC did the docu, with lots of interviews of Israeli officials where they admitted it. The BBC also talked to ex-workers at the Dimona nuclear plant who have contracted cancer from radiation exposure accidents.

Mordehai Vanunu was the worker who broke the story, and after being lured to Italy by an American woman, the Israelis kidnapped him and brought him back to Israel. They sentenced him to 18 yrs in 1986. He's been denied parole (early release) at every stage. The docu surmises that Israel will never let Vanunu out, even though he will have served his entire sentence by next year (2004), with 11 years of it in solitary.

it's well worth watching.

and the thing that is most striking about the whole thing is that not one single U.S. network (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, WB) will air it. Not even PBS will air it. I wonder why that is?

:shrug:

can this be viewed from this site or must I have a satellite dish?

I don't think you can view it on-line at worldlinktv. WorldlinkTV is available on the dish systems, DISH Network and also on DirecTV.

I haven't looked for this BBC docu on-line. But, it was done by the BBC. btw, ...Israel banned all BBC reporters from press conferences after this was shown in Britain.

I think you may be able to get transcripts. I'll check that out.

I know Worldlink airs some of its programming but has been somewhat 'lenient' towards web rebroadcasting. Try http://www.mepeace.com and some link to watch the programming.

This sounds too good to pass up.
