Well the next question is enriched to what level.
They announced whatever percent the other week "but only enriched enough for power".. is this stuff more HIGHLY like closer to weaponed?

He said it raised the question of whether Iran ran a second parallel enrichment programme alongside the one it has declared.
Just FYI: Debka for a few months now has been spinning the idea that they did have a parallel program, and cited it as the reason Iran will be able to 'surprise' the world with a nuke test MUCH sooner than expected. The 'public' one serves as both a decoy and a political/economic tool.
That is... according to Debka.

...is this stuff more HIGHLY like closer to weaponed? And why was it just lying around? HEU isn't the kind of thing one should be careless with. Even if it is "only for power production" this story shows that Iran isn't responsible enough to be messin' with HEU.

To me the question is how long does the IAEA procrastinate in determining the enrichment level and how long before they go public with the findings. If Iran has a parallel enrichment program--or worse yet--got highly enriched uranium from an outside source (North Korea? Pakistan? Russia? China?), we might be talking months instead of years before the Ayatollahs go Atomic.
