First person
What did President Bush read in his oval office on Monday, December 3, 2007? He read a report compiled by 16 American intelligences agencies concluding that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003, contradicting a previous assessment that Tehran was working, and even close, to building a bomb. This confirms that the Iranians were telling the truth all along, and that the reports of Muhammad ElBaradei were also professional despite the storm that was deliberately raised about his work in order to justify taking measures against Iran. Where does this leave the threats issued by President George W. Bush in October when he suggested that a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to "World War III" and Vice President Dick Cheney when he promised "serious consequences¾ if the government in Tehran did not abandon its nuclear program
