Will Israel Go To The Videotape?

Marc Garlasco just couldn't make up his mind about the Gaza beach incident.

Israel did it.
Israel did it not.
Israel could have done it.

Back on June 22, Kenneth Timmerman wrote about Garlasco and his meeting with the IDF and claims something I haven't seen elsewhere.

About Garlasco, he noted:

A self-styled "military expert" for Human Rights Watch, Marc Garlasco...who has no artillery experience or forensics training, has been unable to explain how a 155 millimeter artillery shell could explode amid sand dunes without leaving a huge crater.

But about the meeting, Timmerman notes:

"We came to an agreement with Gen. Klifi that the most likely cause [of the blast] was unexploded Israeli ordnance," Garlasco told the Jerusalem Post after the meeting.

But an Israeli official present at the meeting told NewsMax that that is not the case. "We agreed that no Israeli shell was fired at the beach that day, and that we could not yet determine what caused the explosion," an official present at the three-hour meeting said.

"It might have been an old Israeli mine, or an unexploded shell. Or it could have been a makeshift explosive device."

...Fearing that Garlasco might twist the contents of the meeting, the Israeli military taped the entire three-hour session.

If this is true, by all means--let's go to the videotape!

...At least I hope it's video.
...and in color.

But if so, why didn't Israel go public with it?
