The Nozette Case Revisited

Ha'aretz announces that "New documents presented in federal court in Washington, D.C. reveal deep ties (more than was known) between Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Dr. Stewart David Nozette, an American astronomer accused of spying for Israel."

I modestly note that this blog commented on October 22, 2009 that "The Foreign Company is, apparently, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), for which he has been working for some time. This does not seem to be much of a secret."

I claim no great scoop here. Everybody knew it. The problem is that a great deal of what everybody knows can sometimes take forever to appear in the Israeli press, where military censorship is still in force on many subjects. This means the censors are able to conceal information from all those hostile people who have no access to the Internet.

Both of them.
