OpEdNews - Diary: A Few Questions CNN's Piers Morgan Failed to Ask PM Netanyahu

On March 17, 2011 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared his thoughts with CNN's Piers Morgan, but he didn't ask my questions...

::::::::

An Excerpt from CNN's Piers Morgan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu interview:

MORGAN: Do you have nuclear weapons?

NETANYAHU: Well, we have a long-standing policy that we won't be the first to introduce nuclear weapons into the Middle East and that hasn't changed.

MORGAN: You don't have any?

NETANYAHU: That's our policy. Not to be the first to introduce nuclear weapons into the Middle East. [1]

Also on March 17, 2011, Prof. Uzi Even, a former top official at Israel's Dimona, which is similar in technology to the reactors in Japan said:

"The reactors were built about the same time, 40-50 years ago. In principle, the planning of the reactors is similar. The soft underbelly is the cooling system, which must be operated with great force, even after the reactor is turned out. If there is a breakdown in the cooling system, it will cause the core to collapse. That's what happened at the Japanese reactors.

"While we don't have tsunamis or such strong earthquakes, the chances of a breakdown in the cooling system, either by chance or deliberately, are very great. Our reactor is 50 years old, far older than what is permitted to operate in other countries. Another factor here, which is absent in Japan, is the possibility of deliberate sabotage of the reactor's cooling system. We have enough crazies who wouldn't hesitate to do it if they could." [2]

However, my first question to PM Netanyahu and CNN begins on May 23, 2010, when I sent CNN a NEWS TIP and filed two I-Report's in response to "Israeli nuclear whistle-blower back in jail" regarding Mordechai Vanunu, the most infamous of all photographers ever for he exposed Israel's WMD Facility in 56 photos he shot in 1985 while he was a technician in the Dimona 7 story underground WMD Facility that were published as a front page story by the London SUNDAY TIMES just as Vanunu was being kidnapped by the Mossad in October 1986.
