U.S. Report on Iran Dishonest

In yet another example of this Republican Government lying to the American people and the world; the IAEA in Vienna blasted back at a report published by a House committee calling it "outrageous and dishonest".

The letter, obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday outside a 35-nation board meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency, says the report is false in saying Iran is making weapons-grade uranium at an experimental enrichment site, when it has in fact produced material only in small quantities that is far below the level that can be used in nuclear arms.

The letter, which was first reported on by The Washington Post, also says the report erroneously says that IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei removed a senior nuclear inspector from the team investigating Iran's nuclear program "for concluding that the purpose of Iran's nuclear program is to construct weapons."

In fact, the inspector was sidelined on Tehran's request, and the Islamic republic had a right to ask for a replacement under agreements that govern all states relationships with the agency, said the letter, calling the report's version "incorrect and misleading."

"In addition," says the letter, "the report contains an outrageous and dishonest suggestion that such removal might have been for 'not having adhered to an unstated IAEA policy barring IAEA officials from telling the whole truth about the Iranian nuclear program.'"

Once again, the U.S. is trying to start another war with a Middle Eastern country.

The House commit (House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence) tried to defend them selves saying:

"All IAEA complains about is a photo caption. If you read the report, it's very clear that what it is saying is that Iran is working to develop the capability to enrich uranium to weapons grade, not that they have done so," Ware said. "They use a string of adjectives, while not pointing to any substantive criticism of the report. There are areas where we would disagree with them. A disagreement does not make what we say erroneous."

The report said that Tehran was making weapons grade uranium. Not that it was trying to make it.

You know what this reminds me of? When the IAEA and Emperor Bush last tangled. Remember what was about? Weapons of Mass Destruction! Bush and the Pentagon said he had them, and the IAEA (along with the rest of the world except lapdog Blair) said he did not. Bush said he had proof. It turns out he didn't. He made the whole thing up so that he could invade Iraq, destabilize the region and drive gas prices through the roof.

Wait, didn't he have an oil business he was chairman of?

What's their next step? When do we invade Mexico?

The elections are coming up people. Cast your vote and let this government know how angry you are at them!
