US Intelligence on Iranian Nukes Completely False

From Sunday's L.A. Times

VIENNA — Although international concern is growing about Iran's nuclear program and its regional ambitions, diplomats here say most U.S. intelligence shared with the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency has proved inaccurate and none has led to significant discoveries inside Iran.

The officials said the CIA and other Western spy services had provided sensitive information to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency at least since 2002, when Iran's long-secret nuclear program was exposed. But none of the tips about supposed secret weapons sites provided clear evidence that the Islamic Republic was developing illicit weapons.

Interesting...considering the U.N. was correct on Iraq's WMDs (or lack thereof) it's hard to grasp why the Bush Admin thinks they can polish a turd and call it jewelry. This is the same Bush Administration that outed CIA operatives working on Iranian Nuclear Proliferation.....
