Israeli nuclear whistle-blower convicted again: for talking
Mordechai Vanunu, who exposed Israel's secret nuclear weapons programme to the world and went to jail for eighteen years for it, was convicted yesterday of the crime of speaking to foreign journalists. At issue was not what he said, but the simple act of speaking to them. His lawyer's comment says it all: "We do not consider this appropriate for a democracy in the 21st Century."
