While We Sleep
We are, understandably, concentrating on our election campaign. But Iran is not taking any time outs. Not only is the country doing major mischief in Iraq, it’s pursuing a nuclear program that has slipped from our headlines. . . .
I have no idea whether Israel has made an intelligence breakthrough, but it does appear that the Israelis were right on the mark with their work on the Syrian reactor. I hope that Washington will revise December’s NIE, which is now widely regarded as deceptive, intentionally or not. But agency politics may play more of a role in that process, especially in an election year, than we dare admit.
