Let's not forget what started the whole Iran thing. I believe that processed plutonium was found on a lathe that supposedly came from Pakistan via AQ Kahn, thus leading the Iranians to fess up to a 30 yr. clandestine program. They are openly processing uranium but the plutonium on a lathe makes it appear that they were shaping plutonium for a weapon.

Of course the IAEA took Iran's word for it that the plutonium was on the lathe when they bought it.

That the IAEA gives Iran the benefit of the doubt or takes it at its word speaks volumes as to how effective it is as an organization able to monitor the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

There where also traces of Plutonium found on incoming centrafuges if my memory serves me correct. Bottom line is your statements cannot draw any rebutals, for they are simply accurate.
