David Samuels reports that the US is promoting a campaign against Iran that includes covert action. Last fall, he writes, "Rice and her colleagues in the administration decided to embark on a daring and risky third course: a coordinated campaign, directed with the help of the intelligence services of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Israel. The bill for the covert part of this activity, which has involved funding sectarian political movements and paramilitary groups in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and the Palestinian territories, is said to amount to more than $300 million...

You have to ask yourself which side David Samuels and the Atlantic are rooting for.

Two reactions:

1. It’s about time.

2. Thanks, Atlantic, for telling everyone about this secret program.

I don't ask. I just assume they root for Iran.

[Uncle Miltie]

I should hope so.

Iran declared war on us in 1979, and they haven’t backed down ever.

When I was a liberal Democrat, I used to like The Atlantic.

Of course, now I loathe it.

Idiots.

There the good old USA goes again, spreading money to people that hate the USA. The money will disappear and nothing will get accomplished.

Sure "HOPE" so, but would rather it not be publicized.

[navyguy]

I very much doubt this story. The US, at least publically, has displayed a total hands off, kid glove policy with Iran.

I went to the website and couldn’t find anything that looked remotely like your title.
