Quote:
Much of the intelligence on Iran's nuclear facilities provided to UN inspectors by US spy agencies has turned out to be unfounded, diplomatic sources in Vienna said today.
The claims, reminiscent of the intelligence fiasco surrounding the Iraq war, coincided with a sharp increase in international tension as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that Iran was defying a UN security council ultimatum to freeze its nuclear programme.
That report, delivered to the security council by the IAEA director general, Mohammed ElBaradei, sets the stage for a fierce international debate on the imposition of stricter sanctions on Iran and raises the possibility that the US could resort to military action against Iranian nuclear sites.
Well, I don't know if I'd call it fake. I'd say unfounded is less serious than fake, but more serious than incorrect. _________________ "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." - Winston Churchill
We should not even concern ourselves with Iran. Do you think Israel is going to let Iran develop a nuclear weapon? The worst job in the world is working at an Iraqi nuclear power plant.
