The U.S. Defense Department's intelligence chief said that although Iran has been developing the means to build nuclear weapons, the Middle Eastern nation has not yet made a final decision to do so, Voice of America reported this week (see GSN, Jan. 14).
The conclusion -- originally reached in a comprehensive 2007 intelligence assessment of Iran's nuclear program -- remains valid despite uncertainties about the goals and stability of the nation's government, U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency Chief Lt. Gen. Ronald Burgess said.

My Comment: Hmmmm .... according to the U.S. Defense Department's own intelligence chief .... Iran has been developing the means to build nuclear weapons, but they may not in the end.
If he is right .... that is a relief and he will be applauded for it. But if he is wrong .... the consequences will be devastating and I can easily predict that Lt. Gen. Ronald Burgess will be scampering away in order to CYA.
