Michael Piper and Final Judgment

[Mark Stapleton]

Just a few quick notes

I also found the actual memos/correspondence between all the parties from the time period - one would have thought that more of these documents - which detail in the words of those attending - would have made it to the book... http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsou...fktoc.html

So you found the actual memos/correspondence between ALL THE PARTIES from the time period did you?

Not really.

There is no mention of the frank exchanges contained in the Kennedy/ Ben-Gurion correspondence in 1963.

There is no mention of NSAM 231 or the deception employed by the Israelis hosting the American inspections of Dimona, including concealing the existence of an underground reprocessing plant.

And the so-called JFK-Peres exchange uses a memo from Asst. Secretary Talbot, whoever he was, to Myer Feldman to sugar coat Peres lying to Kennedy. Peres' actual words were "I can tell you most clearly that we will not introduce nuclear weapons to the region, and certainly we will not be the first. Our interest is in reducing armament, even in complete disarmament". An impressive quartet of lies. There was a note taker present, namely Myer Feldman. Peres later boasted that his improvisation became Israel's policy for years to come.

A bunch of briefing notes and memos, selectively chosen by the Jewish Virtual Library, doesn't constitute ALL the relevant correspondence between all the parties. You'll need to do better than that.
