I think the significance of this report, though, is not that it says that the program was nonexistant, or even that it might have been in existance at one point in time. The real significance comes from the fact that this is internal data that the administration had for a year before declassification. Virtually everything else, the IAEA included, can, by the administration, at least be shooed away with some measure of creadibility by the administration in the run up to, or the immediate after math of a war. But the fact that this is our stuff, that's hard to come back from, you know what I mean? Very good point.

Iran NIE report – Are you lying now, or were you lying then?

If the 2005 NIE report was wrong, why should the 2007 NIE report be any more credible? If Iran really had a nuclear weapons program until 2003 as the new NIE says, then why has the IAEA found no evidence of it?

WHy should we believe that Iran EVER had a nuclear weapons program at all?
