I’ve already said this, but I like finding out things officially. A CIA report has coming out detailing Iran’s attempts to get a nuclear weapon. Specifically: they aren’t attempting to get a nuclear weapon.
“The CIA found no conclusive evidence, as yet, of a secret Iranian nuclear-weapons program running paallel to the civilian operations that Iran has declared to the International Atomic Energy Agency,” Hersh wrote, adding the CIA had declined to comment on that story.
A current senior intelligence official confirmed the existence of the CIA analysis and said the White House had been hostile to it, he wrote.
Cheney and his aides had discounted the assessment, the official said.
No surprises there. Oh yeah, Cheney. What does he say about this? I hear he might want to start up a war in Iran, despite no evidence of WMDs for the second goddamn time.
Cheney said the White House would circumvent any legislative restrictions “and thus stop Congress from getting in its way,” he said.
Great. This is the presidency America elected (sort of). A veep who doesn’t care about Congress, they just want to push their own agendas through.
