The headline reads "Obama Release Of Secret Report On Israel Nukes Betrays Ally", but the text of the link url belies the original title "Was Release of Nuke Report Meant to Aid Terrorist Iran?"
The same administration that refused to divulge what's in its soon-to-be-concluded nuclear "deal" with Iran, last month stealthily released a top-secret 1987 report on Israel's nuclear program — information that might be used by Israel's enemies.
Woooooo! STEALTHILY!! TOP SECRET!!!
The 27-year-old classified report further hints that Israel was developing a hydrogen bomb, with power a thousand times greater than a regular atomic bomb."
BIGGER?? ZOMG!!!!
It should be emphasized that in the history of the relations between the two countries," wrote Karpin, "there is no other published official American document that mentions in any way the Israelis' development of hydrogen bombs." That's how unusual this is.
VERY UNUSUAL!!!!
So I tracked down that website's source
The report — titled “Critical Technological Assessment in Israel and NATO Nations” (pdf) — describes in detail the march of Israeli military and technological advancement in the 1970s and 80s. The authors drew particular attention to the development and progression of Israel’s nuclear infrastructure and research labs.

The request to publish the report was initiated three years ago by the American journalist Grant Smith. His plea was based on the Freedom of Information Act and while the Pentagon had lingered Smith filed a lawsuit. A District Court judge for the District of Columbia compelled the Pentagon to address his request.
Although the report reveals quite a wide compilation of new facts about Israel’s most covert defense industry, to my astonishment its declassification produced no media reverberation whatsoever, not in Israel (except on the Ynet news website), nor in the States.
SCARY OBUMMER STEALTHILY RELEASES TOP SECRET REPORT!!! ...because it was court ordered. Nothing to see here. Carry on.
Oh wait, wingnuts are blowing their tops!
