Why the U.S. should start telling the whole truth about Israeli nukes

[The Magistrate]

39. I Agree, Sir

Countries in possession of nuclear weapons will continue to possess them. Countries which do not now will meet obstruction in efforts to obtain them, but any state with the capability to produce nuclear weapons on its own hook will get them if its desire or need for them is serious enough. Quite likely, just as there are people wandering about with a pistol on their hip who aren't fit to be entrusted with anything more lethal than a popsicle stick, some country or other will come into possession of nuclear weapons which ought not to have them. I don't know of any standard but my own by which I might judge which those are.
