On September 12, 2006, the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency - the UN’s nuclear watchdogs) called a report published by the US House Intelligence Committee’s report on Iran’s Nuclear Program (published August 23) "erroneous and misleading", according to the BBC News headline today. The BBC has links to both the House report and the IAEA rebuttal. 

The IAEA, very displeased about the whole affair,  pointed out that the House report published a caption under a photo of the Nataz site in Iran (page 9 of the House report), claiming Iran is enriching "Weapon’s grade" uranium when in fact the photo shows a very low level "fuel grade" uranium being produced.  The IAEA is displeases with a couple of other things, but this was the big one.

This harkens back to the statements by Condi Rice that Iraq had the dreaded "aluminum tubes" that could only be used in a centrifuge to produce nuclear weapon grade uranium.  And speaking of photo’s, remember the then respected Colin Powell showing the UN photos of trucks that "may" be mobile nuclear labs?  I think the UN has been burned before on this one.  So has the United States. 

If you don’t want to be forced into another fake and worthless war (not to mention expensive and deadly), you need to vote out the House members that are allowing this propoganda to be published in the name of the United States.

The Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee that have published these lies are listed below.  Be sure to vote these Warmongers out of office next month:

Peter Hoeskstra (MI), Ray LaHood (IL), Terry Everett (AL), Elton Gallegly (CA),  Heather Wilson (NM), Jo Ann Davis (VA), Mac Thornberry (TX), John McHugh (NY), Todd Tiahrt (KS), Mike Rogers (MI), Rick Renzi (AZ), Darrell Issa (CA).

For completion, there are Democrats on the committee, but if you think they had any control over this report, you are kidding yourself.  The House Committee web page even lists them last.  They are as follows:

Jane Harman (CA), Alcee Hastings (FL), Silvestre Reyes (TX), Leonard Boswell (IA), Bud Cramer (AL), Anna Eshoo (CA), Rush Holt (NJ), Dutch Ruppersberger (MD), John Tierney (MA).
