Olmert: Iran Never Stopped Its Military Nuclear Program
[Washington Post] Lally Weymouth - From an interview this week with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert: Q: It's widely believed in the U.S. that after the latest National Intelligence Estimate, the U.S. will not act. Olmert: "We have a different opinion...and we haven't changed our attitude." Q: You mean that you think [Iran's nuclear program] is closer to being usable? Olmert: "The main point of the NIE, the estimate, was that there is no evidence that the Iranians restarted their [covert] military program since it was closed in 2003....Based on the information we have, the military program continues and has never been stopped. If this program continues, at some point they will be in possession of a nuclear weapon."
