For journalists and others who like examining the landscape of investigative reporting. Another Curveball?First, watch this fantastic interview with investigative god Sy Hersh:

http://larisaunplugged.typepad.com/atlargely/Now the most important things to take away from this, somewhat paraphrased by me:
1). Iran is not off the table, and certainly not off the agenda as far as the OVP is concerned. Which jives with what I have reported. The question, however, remains focused on just how much pressure Gates will be able to put on the LAI (Let's Attack Iran) gang.
2). Iran is no where near nuclear ready or remotely close to being a threat to the US or its neighbors. This jives with what many experts have said, including the head of homeland Negroponte, as well as the AIEA, and UN inspectors. The CIA's own reporting that this is the case in Iran is also interesting, not because of the report, but because someone felt strongly enough to leak it and did so because the OVP is once again putting pressure on Langley to come up with something more supportive of their policy. That is to say, to "fix the facts around the policy."
