When I came home from work at about 6:00 PM CST, I first saw it on Fox News, then on MSNBC, then on CNN — all three, damnit. (And definitely on BBC Online.)
I saw all three of them report that Iran halted its nuclear enrichment (or whatever the hell the Bush administration is calling it) program in 2003 when we went into Iraq.
That’s all I needed to know as proof that Iran’s not doing anything harmful (and no, I don’t count just mere enrichment of uranium or nuclear energy as harmful for energy purposes since even a country in the Persian Gulf has gotten onto this energy independence bandwagon — but if a country were to develop nuclear weapons, I would want to know whether or not it’s pointing them at us and what the President’s going to do about it).
Bush is still saying “they have nukes,” but the NIE’s saying “not back in 2003.”
Meanwhile, Nelson Muntz is saying, “Ha ha!” And he’s laughing at the person who doesn’t have the “[National] Intelligence [Estimate]” or is just not believing the NIE report. (I don’t need to link the person’s name this time.)
