U.S. INTELLIGENCE OBTAINS IRANIAN NUKE PLANS


WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The U.S. intelligence community has obtained plans for what was described as an Iranian project to develop a nuclear warhead.

Officials said the plans were obtained by the CIA in November from an unidentified source. They said the source relayed more than 1,000 pages of technical drawings and documents of an Iranian nuclear missile warhead design.

In November, 2004, officials said, the CIA had sought to confirm the authenticity of the Iranian documents. The Iranian documents -- first reported by the Washington Post on Nov. 19 -- were said to outline a design for a nuclear warhead of the enhanced Shihab-3 intermediate-range ballistic missile. Officials said a warhead capable of containing a nuclear bomb appeared have been developed for the launch of the Shihab-3 in October 2004.

Iran has acknowledged that information from its nuclear program has been leaked to opposition sources and Western intelligence agencies. Since last August, Teheran has reported arrests of unidentified scientists and technicians in Iran's nuclear program.

Do you think Briton is in danger of growing a conscious? Few centuries of repent might convince me but there definitely is something out of character going on with BP. Likely the US.
Mullahs had passed that point of no return almost 26 years ago. When they brought their 1300-year-old tribal Arab mindset to 20th century Persia and couldn’t sell Iranian people on that genetic and mental regression even with force. The evolution Dictates their extinction since fundamentalist Islam cannot evolve period. The nuke point of no return is one of seventy million + reasons that they must be eradicated.

Web blogger Hanif Mazrouei, one of more than 20 journalists detained since a new crackdown on pro-reform Iranian media was launched in September, shows the blindfold he was made to wear for most of the 66 days he was kept in solitary confinement, during an interview with The Associated Press, in Tehran, Iran, Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2005. My interrogator punched me in the head and stomach and kicked me in the back many times to force me confess to having illegal sex and endangered national security through my writings, Mazrouei said.

Well now....do we have them nailed now?"""

Why should I believe this? It sounds like the stuff they put out before going into Iraq - - and now Bush and Condi both admit the intelligence was wrong and there were no WMDs in Iraq.

That's not my point. This article says US intelligence has found a nuke program in Iran. Well, we heard the same thing about Iraq before we went in. Why should I believe this intelligence is any more accurate than our Iraq intelligence was? And if you're saying it doesn't matter whether there are nukes in Iran (or Iraq) - that there are other reasons to go into Iran -- then why post this article about nukes, in the first place?

Frankly, I don't know. The only sources that have said they do have a program for potential military purposes are the sources that said Saddam had one. Even Bush now admits those sources were wrong on Iraq, so they don't have a lot of credibility with me.
