Don’t Bomb Iran

The US director of National Intelligence recently  submitted his 2009_report on WMD to Congress.    The report  does not contradict the 2007 National Intelligence Estimate finding that Iran has no active nuclear weapons program… it finds:

We continue to assess Iran is keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons though we do not know whether Tehran eventually will decide to produce nuclear weapons.  Iran continues to develop a range of capabilities that could be applied to producing nuclear weapons, if a decision is made to do so.

There are rumours that a new NIE on Iran  is in circulation but unlike the 2007 version, a declassified version will not be made public.
