That’s the conclusion of Raw Story in a special investigative report. As President-elect Obama will be encouraged by “centrists” in the Democratic half of the bipartisan foreign policy establishment to keep “continuity” in our Iran policy, the need to stand up to neocon lies on Iran suddenly comes into stronger relief.
Pressure is growing within the International Atomic Energy Agency to stop relying on contents of the computer that U.S. intelligence “came upon” in 2004. The files claim that Iranian company Kimia Maadan is actually a front company for Iran’s government to upgrade its Shahab-3 missile to handle a nuclear warhead.
The IAEA and Director General Mohamed ElBaradai as Gareth Porter points out, in the case of the Niger-Iraq-yellowcake documents, has had no problem in the past calling a forged spade a forged spade. So, stay tuned for an IAEA report due out later this month that includes Iran’s responses to the possibly-forged computer files.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
