Report: Group Says Iran Hid and Later Resumed Nuclear Weapon Program in 2004 (Hooboy)
Source: Fox News

NEW YORK — Iran did shut down its nuclear weapons program in 2003 but restarted it a year later, moving and hiding the equipment to thwart international inspectors, according to an Iranian opposition group, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

The group, the National Council of Resistance of Iran exposed the country's nuclear-fuel program in 2002 and now believes a newly released U.S. analysis is giving the wrong impression that Iran's nuclear program is not an urgent threat, the newspaper reported.



The NCRI, considered by the United States and European Union to be a terrorist organization, has had a mixed record of accuracy with its claims about Iran's nuclear ambitions in the past, the Wall Street Journal said.

The NCRI, however, says it was added to the EU terrorist list under pressure from Tehran at a time when Western countries were trying to improve relations with Iran.

3. Well you know it HAS been reported...
By 3PM this afternoon (like the Sandy Berger "sock" line) this could be ran through Beck and Rush onto Fox and of course onto the screamfests and become "conventional wisdom" or "there are questions"

5. It was the Iraqi exiles and resistance groups that got us into Iraq!
This propaganda convinces me even more that the administration has every intention of going into Iran before Bush's term is up!

10. "Freedom fighter"
Well at least Fox DID put that in the article. I am sure they are finding ways to say it differently on TV or just let this sit here and then report on it as established fact a few days from now.

8. Didn't Machiavelli say something about not listening to the claims of exiles in situations like
these? I'd think the neo-cons would love Machiavelli.

13. Gosh
Who would have thought that something like this would come out just when a HUGE impeachable scandle hits the white house. That has never happened before.

These "freedom fighters" are more or less traitors to their country and they are to be believed without question just like curve ball and bush and cheney. HEIL!

16. Oh man! This goes hand in hand with Karl Rove and Charlie's Rose's interview about
how congress acted extremely fast in wanting to go to war with Iraq.
