a couple weeks ago the i_a_e_a_ comes out this international atomic energy
association says of the deer seated in the concern that iran is now
reconstituting a nuclear weapons program
now they didn't quite say that but they said a lot of things that make people
think that and then they get the headlines in new york times satara
and the eye
a so you know has a lot of credibility was run by mohammed al burdine
and they did a great job of checking in nuclear program that iran had in the
nineteen eighties through the nineteen nineties
thanking him credibility
uh... but they also credibility because they question the bush administration
when they had bad information on iraq and on a rock
so when i a eight came out of the report are you cannot hear on the other person
said well that's on the because certain about
these are not just some new york ons
pretending to have intelligence when we know that's not the case so i wonder if
iran is in fact doing that well seymour hersh now has a terrific reporter shows
the that's not necessarily the case and
why
we might not be able to trust i uh... as much anymore so first let me tell you
why it's not
and very good taste
classic example here in new york times in there
front section once the story about all i gotta run might be going back in nuclear
weapons but then they were in a second story
they had this quote that hearst points out
they say quote it is true
the basic allegations the report are not substantially new
and have been discussed by experts for years
in other words they actually have nothing new at all
let's continue
they say that the source is actually a single source
this from western india intelligence
and i a is relying then on western intelligence
who spare will not tell us
where that sources coming from a tall providence
prominence of that source has not been established
everest now is getting weaker and weaker and that in fact
uh... robert kelly's the retired ita director says
this is quote
so is nothing new here and remember when they were for dole news
in two thousand seven even the poor intelligence came out
and said iran is not
working
on a weapons program ok so it's while they were given energy nuclear energy
program so they were going to clear weapons program so when they cited as
old news is something we knew already well we had our assessment that they are
not working on a weapons program it gets worse uh... arms control association is
a non-profit group whose whole mission is to make sure that we have
non-proliferation they do not want nuclear weapons they say there's trouble
evidence suggesting that the studies are still going on but there is nothing that
indicates that iran is really
nothing okay
uh... and then
uh... senior body
five eighty a facial another one coming out saying
i was quote underwhelmed
by the information
as you look at this
it it does not look like there's uh... altogether that must be concerned about
despite all the media the press that you saw about all my gathering is a coming
with a nuclear weapons program
them by the way one last piece here
the report did note that on-site camera special process
other facilities i remember
this agency has cameras and iran's nuclear facilities
quote continues to verify
the non diversion of declare nuclear picture in other words they are not
diverted
from the energy program into a weapons program
not divert
so its exact opposite of what i press reported
so question is what well seymour hersh has an answer to that as well
remember that one of our day is no longer with the idea
there's a new version it's uh...
jungle by the name of you create a amano japan who's now leading
if you were a few weeks we've find out what amano span up to and what our views
of an hour
the u_s_ intelligence officials in the u_s_ administration
there was a u_s_ embassy n_b_c_ cable from vienna
that said that amano was quote
ready for primetime
the reason they say that is that's their way of saying
don't worry he's on our side
they'll give us what we what well they got a lot more specific in september of
two thousand i'm glyn davies
whose america's permanent representative to the i_a_e_a_
said this about a model quote
amato reminded ambassador on several occasions that he would need to make
concessions to the g_ seventy seven disagreed with helping countries
which correctly required to be fair-minded independent
that he was solidly in the u_s_ court
on every strategic decision
from high-level personal appointments
for the handling of iran's alleged nuclear weapons program
so their debts
again because a week at least we find this out otherwise we wouldn't have
known it
our guy saying don't worry
this new guy about a is poorly on our side
in order to be
erica pretend to be with the third world countries pretend to be fair in essence
you love support us
including on the iran inspections
whatever with message we want to push out and then finally they said
uh... the fact that he is in the new leadership their quote
bodes well for futur relationship
treaty because her about her arms and nuclear weapons program
apparently not
apparently it's the new york on still in our
administrations fill in are intelligence network
drumming this out putting it out to the press just like they did with iraq
and getting the right people on the right organizations the play ball
actually that scarier than anything else cuz
that means we might be ready to another war not because of wrong
but because of are your concerns
