From The Washington Post:VIENNA -- Early Sunday, if all goes as planned, U.N. nuclear inspectors will travel to a military base near Qom, Iran, for a first look at one of the country's most closely guarded nuclear secrets. Inside bunkers dug into the side of a mountain, the visitors will be escorted through a nearly completed uranium plant that Iran's president has termed "very ordinary."
But less than a month after its existence was publicly revealed, many U.S. and European intelligence officials say they are increasingly convinced that the site was intended explicitly for making highly enriched uranium for nuclear weapons.

My Comment: Everyone knows that this facility was built to produce nuclear weapons .... Iran's denials not with standing. What I would like to know is who told the Iranians that their secret facility was discovered by Western intelligence services. From where I am standing, it appears that Iran has penetrated our intelligence agencies with either spies or sympathizers, and that our secrets in regards to Iran are probably not that secret at all.

The site is at a major Sepah base which was and is under constant satelite surveilance. The Iranians seem to have made no attempt to hide what they were doing. If you look at the satelite photos two massive piles of debris from the excavation are glaringly apparent. I suspect that what the Iranians were doing was sending us the message that if their civilian sites were attacked they have at least one alternative. As for the size of the complex, I suspect that was also part of the message. I believe what they were doing was letting us know that while there is no overt atomic weapons program now, there would be one after an attack.
