A thorough overview of the current situation in Iran and its nuclear program. My only concerns are that: 1) this article relies on many unnamed sources, and 2) it appears to imply that the Bush administration favors a bombing solution, which I am not sure it does. Other than that, the analysis and methodology seem reasonable to me, and I am better informed now than I was before reading this story.

Hersh, as usual, is well (if often anonymously) sourced in this latest article on the policy debate around Iranian nuclear potential. As usual, too, his anti-interventionism bias is very upfront. His argument that the U.S. military is being called upon by the administration to back policies that contrast to the military reality is well-grounded and argued but he fails to make his case "bullet-proof" by giving recognition to the other side of the argument.
