Secret CIA report finds no Iranian Nuclear Weapons Drive

(I know there is a thread on this somewhere, I can't find it....can someone combine this? Isn't this just like the lead up to Iraq, and what can we do about it? Why am I hearing nothing on MSM about this?)

CIA analysis finds no Iranian nuclear weapons drive: report

Sat Nov 18, 11:18 PM ET

WASHINGTON (AFP) - A classifed draft
CIA assessment has found no firm evidence of a secret drive by
Iran to develop nuclear weapons, as alleged by the White House, a top US investigative reporter has said.


Seymour Hersh, writing in an article for the November 27 issue of the magazine The New Yorker released in advance, reported on whether the administration of Republican
President George W. Bush was more, or less, inclined to attack Iran after Democrats won control of Congress last week.

A month before the November 7 legislative elections, Hersh wrote, Vice President
Dick Cheney attended a national-security discussion that touched on the impact of Democratic victory in both chambers on Iran policy.If the Democrats won on November 7th, the vice president said, that victory would not stop the administration from pursuing a military option with Iran," Hersh wrote, citing a source familiar with the discussion.

Cheney said the White House would circumvent any legislative restrictions "and thus stop Congress from getting in its way," he said.
