And critics in the United States are attacking the authors of the report, Mr Fingar among them. The Wall Street Journal said he was one of three "hyper-partisan anti-Bush officials" behind the NIE.
On behalf of all the true patriots in the American intel community that stood up for justice on this one, here's to Israel and the neocons.
12-05-07 - The Real Iran Danger Iran?s real problem is the need to nurture its relationship with the U.S. through back-door diplomacy, not in the glare of negative American media publicity.

12-05-07 - With Bush on our side The ramifications for the longer term, the years following the Bush presidency, are more worrisome for Jerusalem.

Why is it up to us to defend Israel? Why the US and always only the US? Did the Israel-firsters in Congress slip it into the Constitution yet? JFC.

12-05-07 - Groups defend sanctions in wake of report Normally such an assessment would vindicate the decades-long drive by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee to enact sanctions against Iran. AIPAC was the lead group -- at times the only group -- making the case in Congress and through the U.S. media that Tehran was pursuing a bomb, and that it should be stopped through economic and political sanctions......AIPAC and the Bush administration have pushed harder than ever in recent months to escalate Iran's isolation
The Israeli lobby behind the curtains again? Never would've guessed that....
