According to the NYT, Mike McConnell, the key author of the NIE report said last month that the report had focused exclusively on the “least significant part” of Iran’s nuclear development program in downplaying the continuing threat. He has now expressed his own concerns about the effects of the report, and conceded “In retrospect, I would do some things differently.”
Nobody in the world believes Iran has stopped its nuclear development program, except for certain lefties in the U.S. who gleefully latched on to this now discredited report, and even they don’t believe it anymore. So are we just going to keep pretending we all believe it, or are we going to officially acknowledge our mistake and set about addressing the threat?
