I agree.

What I object to is saying he’s worse than Hitler. He isn’t.

He COULD be, he has the POTENTIAL to be, but he isn’t.

If I say “I’m going to be a better guitarist than Eddie Van Halen.
My intention is to blow away E.V.H. on guitar.” does that make it true? I wish.

Same same. He’s not done it yet. Ergo, NOT worse than Hitler.
Yet.

ok, sorry to bother you with the previous...

To continue, Google cache turned up this, which appears to be from the Iranians themselves concerning their work with beryllium;

Overall beryllium imports were down significantly, owing mainly to the TVEL nuclear fuel concern for shares in a Russian metallurgical plant during the first quarter 2000 (Interfax International, Ltd., 1999b, e). In May, it was reported that Ulba was acting to preserve its beryllium production capacity. Annual profits of $9.4 million could be generated if Ulba could sustain beryllium production at about 200 t/yr and if the company could sell a similar amount from its beryllium stockpiles. Ulba was also setting up a carbothermy division to obtain beryllium alloying additives and to restore its chemicals and metallurgy complex. A new method had been developed for processing about 800 t of semifinished toxic materials stockpiled at Ulba, containing about 149 t of beryllium. In June, Ulba’s beryllium production was reported to consist of beryllium alloying agents containing up to 10% beryllium. Production of beryllium bronze, an alloy containing less than 2% beryllium, was planned for the year (Interfax International, Ltd., 1999a, c).Import of United States increased in 2004.

They admit to having quite a bit of the stuff, but add at the end that U.S. imports of the mineral increased in 2004. Now why would they do that? It's obvious that they want to change the focus..."don't look at us, look at those other guys."

This could well enough be looked at as being part of "a smoking gun" when it comes to establishing Iranian intent to weaponize nuclear materials. They claim they are doing it to make money, but it can be used as neutron deflector in warheads, making a very nasty sort of "salted" device.
