On Tuesday of this week Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee to explain why the NIE report conflicted with the intelligence estimates from from France, the UK, and Israel.
His reply.. The NIE report was faulty.
(New York Sun) "The director of national intelligence is backing away from his agency's assessment...." McConnell explained that "If I had 'til now to think about it, I probably would change a few things." One would be "the way we describe the Iranian nuclear program." The Iranians have halted work on nuclear warheads, said McConnell, but they proceed with the more dangerous business of attempting the enrichment of uranium and procuring the capacity to hit North Africa and Europe with nuclear arms.
FTA
"The main news of the NIE was the confirmation that Iran
had a nuclear weapons program, not that it had halted it
temporarily"
Where is the MSM coverage of this story?
