New York Times: Interesting article that looks at the background for the NIE on Iran. The US Intelligence Services, CIA etc, discovered new information that ran counter to their original view of Iran. The NYT of course does not agree with the Bush policy when it comes to Iran, more carrot and carrot if the Times had its way. This is shown by the following written today by the Times, " Administration officials have said that they would continue to advocate tougher sanctions, which seems increasingly unlikely. ( author's VIEWS highlight )" The Times does not want sanctions, it is elite and weak, might be right about Iran but there is still a need for tough sanctions on Iran but also back channel diplomacy, if the NYT would allow the government to keep secrets.
