US Iran report branded dishonest;
Last Night's "The Big Picture" on CBC
The UN nuclear watchdog has protested to the US government over a report on Iran's nuclear programme it called 'outrageous' and 'dishonest' .
In a letter, the IAEA said a congressional report suggested Iran's programme was more advanced than had actually been determined.
The agency also took 'strong exception' to claims made over the removal of a senior safeguards inspector.
The IAEA said the letter was sent to 'set the record straight on the facts'.
'This is a matter of the integrity of the IAEA and its inspectors,' spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said in a statement.
The letter, signed by a senior official at the International Atomic Energy Agency, says the 23 August report by the US House intelligence committee contains 'erroneous, misleading... information'. "
Here we go again? I have a hard time understanding why again we have such a ridiculous lack of coherent intelligence?
On the excellent The Big Picture episode last night, one of the commentators - Chris Hedges -characterized the clash of Muslim Fundamentalism and current American political doctrine as the clash of apocalypse-seeking cultures - it was a fascinating program.
Next week on the show, Richard Dawkins delivers an indictment of religion's growing power in the post 9-11 world. Dawkins travels the physical and spiritual landscape of three great religions with pointed questions about the "process of non-thinking called faith." Should be fascinating as the panel discussion will feature Dawkins go head-to-head with religious figures - Dawkins' impassioned defence of Darwinian evolution has earned him the nickname "Darwin's rottweiler."
