Hersh: CIA says no conclusive evidence of secret Iranian nuclear program
Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker via Susie:
The Administration’s planning for a military attack on Iran was made far more complicated earlier this fall by a highly classified draft assessment by the C.I.A. challenging the White House’s assumptions about how close Iran might be to building a nuclear bomb. The C.I.A. found no conclusive evidence, as yet, of a secret Iranian nuclear-weapons program running parallel to the civilian operations that Iran has declared to the International Atomic Energy Agency. (The C.I.A. declined to comment on this story.)
Well, let's be reasonable here, people. It's not like our fundamentally serious administration could ever be wrong about a program to develop weapons of mass destruction in a middle eastern country whose name begins with the letter "I," right?
