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.

Does this mean that Iran completed development of a nuclear warhead in October 2004, or that they're presently developing a warhead for a missile that was test-flown in October, 2004?

Why should I believe this intelligence is any more accurate than our Iraq intelligence was?Because the Iranians are devoting an inordinate amount of their resources to developing long-range ballistic missiles--which, because of relatively large CEPs, are militarily worthless unless they have nuclear warheads.
In essence, the nuclear warhead is the missing piece of the Iranian IRBM weapons system.

Farmfriend posted a thread last night that organized who all the major ping list holders were.
Did you get to see this? It is very helpful in organizing FR information.

You're kidding, right?"""
Why don't you ask the president? He's the one who said the intelligence was bad on Iraq.
