"why ..did the CIA give the Iranians blueprints to build a bomb?"

[sweetheart]

George Bush insists that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.
So why, six years ago, did the CIA give the Iranians blueprints to build a bomb?

In an extract from his explosive new book, New York Times reporter James Risen
reveals the bungles and miscalculations that led to a spectacular intelligence fiasco

She had probably done this a dozen times before. Modern digital technology
had made clandestine communications with overseas agents seem routine. Back
in the cold war, contacting a secret agent in Moscow or Beijing was a dangerous,
labour-intensive process that could take days or even weeks. But by 2004, it
was possible to send high-speed, encrypted messages directly and instantaneously
from CIA headquarters to agents in the field who were equipped with small,
covert personal communications devices. So the officer at CIA headquarters
assigned to handle communications with the agency's spies in Iran probably
didn't think twice when she began her latest download. With a few simple
commands, she sent a secret data flow to one of the Iranian agents in the
CIA's spy network. Just as she had done so many times before.

But this time, the ease and speed of the technology betrayed her. The CIA
officer had made a disastrous mistake. She had sent information to one
Iranian agent that exposed an entire spy network; the data could be used
to identify virtually every spy the CIA had inside Iran.

Mistake piled on mistake. As the CIA later learned, the Iranian who received
the download was a double agent. The agent quickly turned the data over to
Iranian security officials, and it enabled them to "roll up" the CIA's
network throughout Iran. CIA sources say that several of the Iranian
agents were arrested and jailed, while the fates of some of the others
is still unknown.

2. This is really a strange story and shows how close clinton and the BFEE

are tied together. Clinton was responsible for the deaths of at least 500,000 Iraqi children and God knows how many adults from starvation and malnutrition. When a reporter asked Madeline Albright about the sacrifice of half a million children from the sanctions, Albright said, "We think it is worth it." That is a lot of little kids.

Set up for Iran by giving them nuclear blueprints, just as Saddam was set up by Bush, senior and Rumsfeld giving him chemical and biological weapons as an excuse to invade later.

Everyone needs to be familiar with the objectives of the PNAC, Project for A New American Century - The Grand Chessboard.

This sounds like another impeachable offense though clinton signed off first, bush, junior let it continue.

3. i find it quite shocking this article....

truth be told. It seems the American people would be far better off it the
CIA were entirely disbanded, all its employees sacked. It has become more
of a terrorist danger to the american people than a foreign enemy; then the
persons in the CIA should either be brought up on treason charges, or the
whole organization should be disbanded in shame.
