Will anyone listen? Or just another story swept under the rug by the MSM?
CIA director General Michael Hayden said on Sunday he believed that Iran is developing nuclear weapons.
In an interview to NBC’s ‘Meet the Press,’ Hayden said the CIA stood by November’s National Intelligence Estimate, which assessed that Teheran halted its nuclear weapons program in the fall of 2003.
“We stand by the judgment,” he said, but added that the report “unfortunately, tends to get oversimplified in public discourse.” For instance, he said, “another part of the report that we emphasized is that program that stopped in 2003. It was [clear] they were weaponizing, building the actual device. It remains a program that the Iranians continue to deny ever existed. And the other aspects of the Iranian nuclear effort beyond the weaponization – the development of fissile material, the development of delivery systems – all continue apace.”
Asked whether he believed the Iranians were trying to develop a nuclear weapons program, Hayden replied: “Personal belief? Yes.”
