CIA analysis finds no Iranian nuclear weapons drive
[Quote:]
A top US investigative reporter says a classified draft CIA assessment has found no firm evidence of a secret drive by Iran to develop nuclear weapons, as alleged by the White House.
[..]
“The CIA found no conclusive evidence, as yet, of a secret Iranian nuclear weapons program running parallel to the civilian operations that Iran has declared to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),” 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.
The official said Cheney and his aides had discounted the assessment.
Now where have I heard about this sequence of events before?
Padilla Case Raises Questions About Anti-Terror Tactics
[Quote:]
After he was arrested in 2002, Jose Padilla was considered so dangerous that he was held without charges in a military prison for more than three years — accused first of plotting a radiological “dirty bomb” attack and later of conspiring with al-Qaeda to blow up apartment buildings with natural gas.
But now, nearly a year after his abrupt transfer into a regular criminal court, the Justice Department’s prosecution of the former Chicago gang member is running into trouble.
A Republican-appointed federal judge in Miami has already dumped the most serious conspiracy count against Padilla, removing for now the possibility of a life sentence. The same judge has also disparaged the government’s case as “light on facts,” while defense lawyers have made detailed allegations that Padilla was illegally tortured, threatened and perhaps even drugged during his detention at a Navy brig in South Carolina.

“When they said we were gonna have our pictures taken under Ho’s bust I thought Condi was gonna go topless.”
THis is where the neo-cons start babbling about the “unknown knowns that might be unknown and never known.” Simply… they have no evidence because IT ISN’T HAPPENING! Why does no one talk about the FACT they have been building a nuclear power plant for years and now they want to fuel it. What’s the big deal? What did we think they were going to fuel it with? Energizer bunnies? Respect of sovereignty needs to be observed here and not respect for those who would shout ” false witness against their neighbors!” Thank God at least some CIA people are getting their testicles back!
The thing is if the US administration is somehow correct on this not a soul will believe them for having cried wolf previously. That would indeed be comical. “fool me once, shame on—shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.”
