Well, ladies and gents:
Here we see again how the Bush administration is so off-base regarding nuclear proliferation and the Iranian government. The National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) that was released today states that the Iranian government had given up developing weapons as far away as 2003. (The link to the full report from National Public Radio is below).
But I have some questions: why did the intelligence community wait so long to release this report? Could it be that they were under pressure to delay the release? Also, what does this mean for Neo-Conservatives here in the United States and Europe who want to catch Iran in the act so that on all-out war would ensue?

Re: NIE Report: Iran DID Stop Nuclear Development!
Wed, December 5, 2007 - 9:26 PMFrom what I've read, the intel wasn't know to the US until this August.
I'm a bit shocked and pleased this type of contradictory finding was released at all.
