Let Mordechai Vanunu go!

Now, far be it from me to be any kind of peace protester (I hate how those morons want to disrupt the lives of ordinary people to prove their point, but that's another topic for another day), but I have been reading about Mordechai Vanunu, and it makes me nauseous.

For those who don't know, Vanunu exposed some Israeli nuclear secrets back in 1986. He was abducted by the Mossad from Rome, given a secret trial, imprisoned for 18 years, and released a few days ago. But that's not the bad part (as if that weren't bad enough). Vanunu can't leave Israel, is confined to one town, and can have almost no interaction with foreigners (apparently only letters are OK, and I imagine those will be read before delivery).
