US Documents on Iran Nukes Forged?

Posted on 11/10/2008 by Juan

I’m shocked, shocked that allegations are emerging at the International Atomic Energy Agency that US-supplied “documents” from a laptop acquired in 2004 indicating a secret Iranian weapons program were probably forgeries.

The IAEA clearly hopes that the Obama administration will end the previous administration’s attempts to undermine it and will stop the Washington habit of using forged documents as a basis for aggressive military responses to nuclear programs and instead will opt for diplomacy.
