...we don't have to act upon.
Apparently, "a secret Defense Intelligence Agency report that shows Israel owns 82 nuclear weapons."

Amazing that a publicity blitz for a bit of self-aggrandisement can cause documents to be declassified, while a simple request for something as harmless as a request for a list of who advised Cheney's Energy Task Force is obstructed by the DubyaAdministration with every legal strategy possible.

Bah, it's been an open secret for two decades or more that the Israelis have Nukes. Look into South Africa as well...

From the first link in your post:

quote:
the President determines that any county, after 4/30/94, (A) transfers to a non-nuclear-weapon state a nuclear explosive device, (B) is a non-nuclear-weapon state and either -- (i) receives a nuclear explosive device, or (ii) detonates a nuclear explosive device,
Assuming Israel developed the nuclear weapons themselves, they haven't violated this provision unless there was a nuclear test I didn't hear about. Didn't see any mention of that in your links, and those tests are pretty hard to keep secret.

So what exactly would we "have to act upon?"
