Both Mr. Edgar Vasques, State Department Media Affairs Officer, and Ms. Nicole Thompson, Press Relations Officer for Clinton, have been gracious to me. Ms. Thompson even raised my hopes when she told me "it is not impossible to receive an answer from the Secretary of State."

But on January 15, 2011, I realized why I will never receive a statement from this Administration via The New York Times, which reported:

"Over the past two years, according to intelligence and military experts familiar with its operations, Dimona has taken on a new, equally secret role -- as a critical testing ground in a joint American and Israeli effort to undermine Iran 's efforts to make a bomb of its own. Behind Dimona's barbed wire, the experts say, Israel has spun nuclear centrifuges virtually identical to Iran's at Natanz, where Iranian scientists are struggling to enrich uranium. They say Dimona tested the effectiveness of the Stuxnet computer worm, a destructive program that appears to have wiped out roughly a fifth of Iran's nuclear centrifuges and helped delay, though not destroy, Tehran's ability to make its first nuclear arms.

"Though American and Israeli officials refuse to talk publicly about what goes on at Dimona, the operations there, as well as related efforts in the United States, are among the newest and strongest clues suggesting that the virus was designed as an American-Israeli project to sabotage the Iranian program. Officially, neither American nor Israeli officials will even utter the name of the malicious computer program, much less describe any role in designing it.

"How and when Israel obtained this kind of first-generation centrifuge remains unclear -- whether from Europe, or the Khan network, or by other means. But nuclear experts agree that Dimona came to hold row upon row of spinning centrifuges. "Another clue involves the United States," an expert added, stating that Israel worked in collaboration with the United States in targeting Iran, but that Washington was eager for "plausible deniability." [6]

There's no denying that unless nuclear weapons are abolished and all people are free and equal, the world will remain in a state of madness run by hypocrites in high places.
