Considered a traitor by Israel for exposing the clandestine activities of Mossad, Ostrovsky authored several books and numerous articles detailing Mossad's misconduct. These include By Way of Deception (St. Martin’s Press, 1990) and The Other Side of Deception (Harper Collins, 1994). They’ve been available to journalists and investigative reporters for 17 and 14 years respectively, yet politicians and media voices continue to report official propaganda planted by Mossad that defies reliable evidence.

Ostrovsky recorded what his Mossad superior had revealed Mossad's actions and intentions to him: “After the bombing of Libya, our friend Qadhafi is sure to stay out of the picture for some time. Iraq and Saddam Hussein are the next target. We're starting now to build him up as the big villain. It will take some time, but in the end, there's no doubt it'll work.”

Ostrovsky asked his superior, “But isn't Saddam regarded as moderate toward us, allied with Jordan, the big enemy of Iran and Syria?”

“Yes,” he replied, “that's why I'm opposed to this action. But that's the directive, and I must follow it. Hopefully, you and I will be done with our little operation before anything big happens. After all, we have already destroyed his nuclear facility, and we are making money by selling him technology and equipment through South Africa.”

According to Ostrovsky, “In the following weeks, more and more discoveries were made regarding the big gun and other elements of the Saddam war machine. The Mossad had all but saturated the intelligence field with information regarding the evil intentions of Saddam the Terrible, banking on the fact that before long, he'd have enough rope to hang himself.”

In the 17 years since this was reported, not a single establishment journalist or Western intelligence agency has given the deserved recognition to Ostrovsky's revelations to modify and correct the line planted by Mossad.
