Vanunu's brother [[Meir Vanunu|Meir]], who had learned the details by speaking Moroccan Arabic to him in prison, testified twice.

An official of the Israeli foreign ministry said: "If Dr. Sica comes it would be very, very embarrassing for our government." Sica closed the inquiry in June 1988 with the finding that Vanunu had been working with the Mossad and that "the whole affair had been a disinformation exercise." He reasoned that no one could be found who had seen Vanunu arrive in Rome, that professionals would not have used a flat in a crowded district, that the message Vanunu wrote on his palm was in better English than he commanded, and that the photographs showed no staff.

 He wrote that he was prompted to release the software by Senate Bill 266 of 1991, an anti-crime measure carrying a provision that would have pressed makers of secure communications equipment to build in government access. Zimmermann published PGP electronically without charge in June 1991, and within hours it spread across the internet and out of the country. He later summarized his motive in the essay "Why I Wrote PGP," arguing that "the only way to hold the line on privacy in the information age is strong cryptography," and in the slogan "If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy." The technical design of the software is treated on the Pretty Good Privacy page.[^3][^4]

+In November 1985, at the time of the [[HAWK missile|HAWK]] shipment to [[Iran]], [[Oliver North]] was in [[London]] "meeting Terry Waite and, separately, Ghorbanifar" ([[Manucher Ghorbanifar]]). North's memorandum of December 5, 1985, stated that "There are numerous indications including reports from the special representative of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Terry Waite, that time is running out for the hostages," that the former [[Beirut]] station chief [[William Buckley]] was believed dead, and that "from Waite's November 14 visit to Beirut and a separate contact through Canada" the other five American hostages (Anderson, Jacobsen, Jenco, Kilburn and Sutherland) were known to be alive. After returning from London on December 8, North wrote the next day: "Terry Waite, our only access to events in Lebanon, readily admits that his influence is marginal at best." A memorandum to [[John Poindexter]] of July 29, 1986, after the release of [[Lawrence Jenco]], recorded that "Waite is accompanying Father Jenco to meetings with the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury."[^1]

+In January 1986 officials of the [[United States Department of State|State Department]] learned of an initiative to free Shi'ite detainees held by [[Israel]] in south Lebanon in exchange for the hostages, which involved religious figures including Waite, [[Pope John Paul II]] and the Greek Orthodox Patriarch in [[Damascus]], together with General [[Antoine Lahad]] of the South Lebanon Army.[^2]
