Dear Representative Ron Paul,
I am seeking your response to the following to be published in a series regarding The Serial Hypocrisy of The Media vis-a-vis Ron Paul and Mordechai Vanunu.
In April 1999, thirty-six members of the House of Representatives sent a letter to President Clinton regarding the incarceration of Israel’s nuclear whistle blower because they believed “we have a duty to stand up for men and women like Mordechai Vanunu who dare to articulate a brighter vision for humanity.”
President Clinton responded with a public statement expressing concern for Vanunu and the need for Israel and other non-parties to the Non-Proliferation Treaty to adhere to it and accept IAEA safeguards.
Were you one of the 36 congressional representatives who signed that letter?
Will you also comment regarding what Vanunu told me in 2005:
“Did you know that President Kennedy tried to stop Israel from building atomic weapons? In 1963, he forced Prime Minister Ben Guirion to admit the Dimona was not a textile plant, as the sign outside proclaimed, but a nuclear plant. The Prime Minister said, ‘The nuclear reactor is only for peace.’
“Kennedy insisted on an open internal inspection. He wrote letters demanding that Ben Guirion open up the Dimona for inspection.
“When Johnson became president, he made an agreement with Israel that two senators would come every year to inspect. Before the senators would visit, the Israelis would build a wall to block the underground elevators and stairways. From 1963 to ’69, the senators came, but they never knew about the wall that hid the rest of the Dimona from them.
“Nixon stopped the inspections and agreed to ignore the situation. As a result, Israel increased production. In 1986, there were over two hundred bombs. Today, they may have enough plutonium for ten bombs a year.”
If you were President what would you do?
Thank you for your consideration and most sincerely all the best,
Eileen Fleming, Citizen of CONSCIENCE for House of Representatives 2012
