Why is the Administration Withholding Israeli-Provided Intercepts That "Prove" Responsibility?

5. The Israelis intercepted the phone call from the Defense Minister that stopped the barrage - very

significant piece of evidence if you want to determine official culpability for the attack. An analyst's description of the contents of that conversation as well as the identity of who intercepted it (IDF Unit 8200) is already part of the public record. They can't continue to claim methods and sources - those are already known.

Without a full examination of the evidence relied upon, we cannot assess the decision to carry out a punative attack. That's war by cover-up, which is nearly as bad as war by deception - a possibility that can't be ruled out until these intercepts are declassified and released.
