    UNITED NATIONS inspectors investigating Iran’s nuclear program have angrily complained to the Bush Administration and a Republican congressman about a report on Iran’s capabilities, calling parts of the document "outrageous and dishonest".
    International Atomic Energy Agency officials, who produced evidence to refute the report’s main claims, said in a letter on Wednesday that the report contained "erroneous, misleading and unsubstantiated statements".
    The letter, signed by a senior (…)

  • What If the U.S. and Iranian Presidents Did Debate?

    by Ivan Eland
    The outspoken President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran has challenged President Bush to debate U.S.-Iran relations. Bush has dismissed the offer and declined. Debate is not good-faith negotiation between the opposing parties, but it is better than nothing. And it might not be as one-sided as most Americans think. We could certainly fantasize about how such a debate might play out.
    President Bush, of course, would begin by accusing Iran of support for the “Islamo-fascist” group (…)

    The consequences of nuking Iran
    The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic targets, including numerous suspected (…)

    Veterans exposed to atomic radiation lose court ruling
    By Michael Doyle McClatchy Newspapers
    WASHINGTON - Radiation exposure took Alice Broudy’s husband a generation ago.
    This week, a court ruling sliced away at her bid for redress.
    In a quiet ruling that nonetheless resonates nationwide, a federal appellate court rejected efforts by Broudy and others seeking claims on behalf of "atomic veterans." The same court simultaneously rejected bids by other (…)

  • It’s the American Way or the Highway: Your Extinction Will Quell Your Moral and Intellectual Confusion

    By Jason Miller
    Persistently ticking off the precious seconds in humanity’s "Countdown to Extinction", the Doomsday Clock of the Bulletin for Atomic Scientists has advanced to seven minutes of midnight. Yet despite nuclear terror unleashed on Japan, an arms race of monumental proportions, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and widespread nuclear proliferation, somehow humanity has managed avoid nuclear apocalypse for 60 years. Perhaps the virtual certainty of "mutually assured destruction" (…)

    Gathering nuclear storm By Arnaud de Borchgrave August 29, 2006
    Just days before the United Nations Security Council deadline for Iran to cease and desist enriching uranium, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gave the West the Iranian bird. By inaugurating a "heavy-water" reactor, Iran instantly doubled its chances of acquiring nuclear weapons. Adding insult to injury, the military mullahs test-fired a new long-range missile — the Thaqeb, or Saturn, a submarine-to-surface weapon.
    The new (…)

    By Michael Clarke
    It is Canada Day evening, and I can barely hear the whistles, booms and bangs of the fireworks. It sounds a bit like distant bombs exploding, reminding me of the incredible moral paradox our federal government’s aggressive military role in Afghanistan has created for all Canadians. Our government, military, newspapers, television and radio media are efficiently dispersing the official sound bytes: "our troops in Afghanistan have the moral authority"; "Canada is doing the (…)

    Iran’s president has challenged US President George W Bush to a live TV debate on world affairs.
    Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused the US and UK of abusing their "special privileges" and said a debate would let both sides air their views uncensored.
    The White House called his suggestion a "diversion" from global concerns over Iran’s nuclear programme.
    Mr Ahmadinejad was speaking two days before a UN deadline for Iran to halt work on its nuclear programme.
    He said Tehran had proposed a (…)

    U.S. built major Iranian nuclear facility
    By Sam Roe - Tribune reporter August 23, 2006
    In the heart of Tehran sits one of Iran’s most important nuclear facilities, a dome-shaped building where scientists have conducted secret experiments that could help the country build atomic bombs. It was provided to the Iranians by the United States.
    The Tehran Research Reactor represents a little-known aspect of the international uproar over the country’s alleged weapons program. Not only did (…)
