Unmentionable
Sir: Last Sunday I watched Andrew Neil being interviewed by Frost on his morning television show. The 'peg' was of course Andrew's new book. When asked by Frost which he considered his greatest scoop, he said the Vanunu story which revealed Israel's nuclear capability.
Andrew argued that what Vanunu really wanted was to allow the Israeli public to know about this development and have a say in such a momentous matter.
In fact, the Sunday Times disclosures went much further by giving full details about the location of the installation, their underground floor-by-floor functions etc., thus making the Dimona site vulnerable to suicide bombers, air attacks etc. That little detail was, of course, not mentioned!
