The too long time head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei has generally been very public in his support of "the process" of verifying Iran is not developing nuclear weapons. The impression I always got was that ElBaradei did this more against the U.S than for the Mad Mullahs.

Now it turns out that when the agency he represents finally agrees that Iran is indeed hiding several nuclear components in its allegedly peaceful nuclear program, ElBaradie is not even quoted in the New York Times article revealing the revelations.

The International Atomic Energy Agency, in an unusually blunt and detailed report, said Monday that Iran's suspected research into the development of nuclear weapons remained "a matter of serious concern" and that Iran continued to owe the agency "substantial explanations."

The nine-page report accused the Iranians of a willful lack of cooperation, particularly in answering allegations that its nuclear program may be intended more for military use than for energy generation.

Part of the agency's case hinges on 18 documents listed in the report and presented to Iran that, according to Western intelligence agencies, indicate the Iranians have ventured into explosives, uranium processing and a missile warhead design -- activities that could be associated with constructing nuclear weapons.

Of course the Iranians have an explanation for all the speculation about these programs, one I'm sure ElBaradei and the rest of the Left will soon accept.

Iran has dismissed the documents as "forged" or "fabricated," claimed that its experiments and projects had nothing to do with a nuclear weapons program and refused to provide documentation and access to its scientists to support its claims.

No, I didn't post this to the wrong blog site, this is where I am posting stuff while my other blog home continues to be hacked-ed.
