Iran-Contra Figure Emerges in WMD Probe

Actually pretty interesting. I never thought of this myself. But the adminstration offers a looot of money for pointers to Al Queda and crew. So all you to do is get your hands on some uranium, whip up a story, call in the CIA, point to the uranium with one hand and pick up a cool million with the other. I find it revealing that all the people involved think that Iran should be taken out.

"The source of Ghorbanifar's allegations began supplying the Pentagon with information about Iran nearly two years ago in meetings arranged by Ledeen, who has a number of friends in the Pentagon's civilian leadership. The Iraqi was brought to Ledeen's attention by Ghorbanifar, an Iranian exile.

Ledeen, Ghorbanifar and the Iraqi source all favor the overthrow of Iran's current government.

Ledeen said that two months ago Ghorbanifar called him with the uranium allegation, and Ledeen pressed the former Iran-Contra figure to check its accuracy. "He called me back and said, `As far as I can tell it's true.' On the basis of that I went to the Pentagon," Ledeen said."

Has anyone noticed that we have been thrown back into the late 80s, early 90s?? Same wars, same people, same stories. Its like the years and deeds inbetween never existed.

That Iran is being drawn into this doesnt surprise me, it was just matter of time. US has never forgiven Iran for scr*wing them over: islamic revolution, they got rid of the US-controled shah, and of course Iran has never forgiven US for putting that shah bastard in power in the first place.
