Bill Clinton and CIA Gave Iranians Blueprint for Nuclear Bomb

Last night, radio talk show host and former US Justice Department official Mark Levin shocked many listeners when he reported that President Bill Clinton gave nuclear technology to the Iranians in a harebrained scheme.

He said that the transfer of classified data to Iran was personally approved by then-President Clinton and that the CIA deliberately gave Iranian physicists blueprints for part of a nuclear bomb that likely helped Tehran advance its nuclear weapons development program.

The CIA, using a double-agent Russian scientist, handed a blueprint for a nuclear bomb to Iran, according to a new book "State of War" by James Risen, the New York Times reporter, who exposed the Bush administration's controversial NSA spying operation, claims the plans contained fatal flaws designed to derail Tehran's nuclear drive.

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.
