"Panetta, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, said that US intelligence showed that Iran was continuing its uranium enrichment programme. "But the intelligence does not show that they've made the decision to proceed with developing a nuclear weapon. That is the red line that would concern us and that would ensure that the international community, hopefully together, would respond," he said."

Anybody else find it perplexing that Alan Dershowitz and Bibi Netanyahu have converted "intelligence does not show" into "we must pre-empt now"?

Probably worth mentioning that intelligence has its limitations - buzz 2012-03-23 22:55:44 (75 views)

the 'pre-empt' hawks constantly imply and infer actual knowledge - CARTIERFROHAWK 2012-03-23 23:33:50 (50 views)
