They are all insane. Hell, in this damn country, we aren't even safe from *other *countries' nuclear programs: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: IRmep <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Sep 8, 2015 at 6:01 PM Subject: CIA releases nuke diversion to Israel file, IRmep sues for intel budget - IRmep To: [email protected] CIA releases files about illegal weapons-grade uranium diversions from US to Israel - IRmep <http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cia-releases-files-about-illegal-weapons-grade-uranium-diversions-from-us-to-israel---irmep-300139038.html?tc=eml_cleartime> WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Central Intelligence Agency released 130 pages of reports, memos and other files about the 1960s diversion of weapons-grade uranium to Israel from the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation NUMEC formerly headquartered in Apollo, Pennsylvania. (PDF of CIA files and release statement <http://www.irmep.org/pdf/08312015_cia_numec.pdf>). The August 31 CIA release came in response to a lawsuit (Lawsuit PDF <http://irmep.org/cfp/CIA/02132015_CIA_foia_complaint_plus_exhibits_15-cv-00224.pdf>) filed by the director of the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy (IRmep) on February 13, 2015.... Many of the file memos record CIA briefings in the late 1970s to members of Congress inquiring whether the diversion was a covert CIA operation. Arizona Democrat Morris Udall asked bluntly on August 23, 1977 "Is it possible that President Johnson, who was known to be a friend of Israel, could have encouraged the flow of nuclear materials to the Israelis...?" ...Today the razed NUMEC facilities sites near Apollo will cost $350 <http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2015/01/05/army-corps-says-nuclear-cleanup-former-numec-site-in-western-pennsylvania-now/> to $500 million <http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304868404579194231922830904> to toxic waste cleanup over the next decade according to US Army Corps of Engineers estimates. CIA Tel Aviv Station Chief John Hadden, whose findings are redacted from the new release, publicly characterized NUMEC as "an Israeli operation from the beginning..." IRmep plans to further court actions to obtain full release of CIA operations files that would allow Apollo residents to sue the Israeli government directly for cleanup costs and massive health-related damages caused by the smuggling front, or have the funds deducted from Israel's annual $3.5 billion package of foreign aid from the United States. (See the IRmep Center for Policy and Law Enforcement <http://irmep.org/CFL.htm> for the lawsuit, oral argument transcripts <http://irmep.org/cfp/numec/090215_SC2_status_hearing_transcript.pdf> and other legal updates.)
