Even the reliably dhimmi Wall Street Journal, while sniffing at “conservative hawks,” can’t help but report on the many holes in the NIE claims. “Group Says Iran Resumed Weapon Program,” by Marc Champion and Jay Solomon in the WSJ (thanks to DFS):
The Iranian opposition group that first exposed Iran’s nuclear-fuel program said a U.S. intelligence analysis is correct that Tehran shut down its weaponization program in 2003, but claims that the program was relocated and restarted in 2004.
The claim, to be made public today by the National Council for Resistance in Iran, joins a broad pushback by conservative hawks who say the U.S. analysis has wrongly given the impression that Iran’s nuclear-fuel program doesn’t present an urgent threat.
