The book that didn't exist shows up
2011-04-07
Channel 10 reporter Ofer Shelah, said he wanted to tell a little story.

He then went on to say that in a Channel 2/YouTube interview last week, the prime minister, when asked by someone named Noa what book he was reading, answered that he was reading one called Security of the State by a British agent.

Shelah said that he went to the Internet to search for a book by that name.

“There is no book with that name, or a similar name,” he said. “I didn’t find a book by a British agent.”had implied book by British intelligence agent that Netanyahu said he was reading didn't exist.

...It just so happens, however, that about a week before that interview, Netanyahu flew down to see work on the new security barrier on the Egyptian border, and took some journalists – including this reporter – with him on the helicopter.

On that helicopter ride he was reading a book called Securing the State, by David Omand, formerly the UKÂ’s security and intelligence co-coordinator responsible for controlling the overall direction for the British prime minister of the countryÂ’s counter-terrorism strategy.

#1  Right. There's no way a reporter could make a mistake, so the prime minister must be lying! A sinister plot, for sure! Why, it's so sinister, even I - {soon-to-be Pulitzer Prize winner} - can't figure it out!
