Thanks for this. My point above was not applicable to you apparently.

I do not recall this, but it is interesting.

Yes, I remember seeing this when it came out last April, but of course it was not covered in front page headlines by the NY Times (or any of the MSM so far as I know).

Gee, do you think the NY Times was saving this explosive info for their October surprise to sink the Demagogues???? Of course not, only Republicans win the highly selective, deeply biased, thoroughly depraved concern of the NY Slimes editors when it comes to national security issues.

Ironically, Risen's New York Times has declined to cover Mr. Clinton's Iranian nuclear debacle - concentrating instead on his book's dubious claims that the National Security Agency was first authorized to commence domestic wiretapping by President Bush.

Well that's kind of weird because the part of the Operation Merlin story often missed in all this is the part where Risen reveals that the NSA was eavesdropping on the telephone lines of the Iranian mission in Vienna and that it had broken the codes of Iran's intelligence agency and so was able to determine when they blueprints were handed over. Why is this a big deal? Well, it's because as soon as Risen's story came out you can bet the Iranians reworked their codes. And they did it at precisely the time we needed to be monitoring their progress in their nuclear program - we needed that sort of backdoor access into what the Iranians were talking about in their coded transmissions. But it was shut down and who knows how long it would take to break their new codes? Meanwhile their program could proceed in silence.
