Iran, Nukes, Diplomacy and other options (catch all thread 2007-2010)

[Rex Brynen]

The man said what he said just five months prior to this NIE.

As Ted has pointed out, the predominate view in the IC has changed on this issue (although the internal debate was older than five months).

I would much rather the IC shift assessments when new data and/or analysis suggests a correction is necessary, than that they dogmatically stick to a fixed conceptzia.
