Has anyone ever seen such an intellectually bankrupt document? If a student had given me this work, I not only would have failed him or her, I would have suggested that they consider a career that did not involve analytical thought. What is surprising is not that these bozos wound up issuing this thing -- after all, I am no longer surprised by any level of stupidity from the government -- but that it has received such general criticism not only from Israel, but from so many others. Let's be serious. If the UN criticizes a report as being too speculative and unfounded, that says something.
I don't know why this came out, or why it came out now. I leave that to insiders. What is clear is that Iran continues to lie about its activities, stonewall in negotiations, and proceed with activities that are only consistent with the production of weaponized material.
Is there anyone who thinks we should rely on the NIE, give a sigh of relief, and turn away from Iran? If so, tell me why.
