But I entertain an even darker suspicion. It is that the intelligence community, which has for some years now been leaking material calculated to undermine George W. Bush, is doing it again. I think that is a grand slam and correct.

Agree totally.
With 3,000 centrifuges running, they are up to something. And it won’t take until 2015 either.
Zero confidence in their report.

I agree. Now suppose this little game works and then Iran tests a functional nuke in a year or so. Who do you think will be blamed? The left will excorciate Bush for not destroying their nuclear facilities and for sitting around talking when action was needed. Bush needs to keep this NIE as 'exhibit A' in case this scenario occurs.
As an aside, we don't know what Israel will do yet if they think Iran is about to test a nuke.

It is a very peculiar turnaround, to say the least, and couched in very equivocal, CYA language. I think suspician is very much warranted.

It's either that or the Bushies have cut a backroom deal...on the heels of the Citigroup deal no less...grrr...
With the show of force in the gulf presently and the purchases of fuel and ammo for both domestic and foreign issue....it makes me think an ultimatum was issued, and Iran capitulated.
