Anybody else hear about 'intel officials' saying Iran is years from nukes?

I heard it on NPR about a half hour ago, but can't find it online anywhere, including NPR. They said these folks had a rare 'on the record' press conference.

I was impressed because it appears Bush has finally driven the intel community to say "vaffanculo" to him. They just don't care, they're not going along with the lies any more, and not taking the blame when Bush lies about their reports.

God I love DU.

3. Hmm, related stories, but not the same story.

This was supposedly "US intelligence officials" and "on the record." The NYT and CSM stories quote thin-tankers and UN folks such as Al Baredei.

6. Sorry, I guess I haven't seen that story.

4. Here is a whole thread discussing the absurdity of Iran having nukes

anytime soon. It has links to articles discussing how many years away they are.

5. Yeah, not the "intel officials" story either.

This just happened today. Keep your eyes peeled; I think it shows the intel community has broken ranks and Bush is in serious doo-doo.
