Disillusioned Iranian Technocrats Offer Wealth of Intelligence to U.S.
(Washington Post) Joby Warrick and Greg Miller - Iran's political turmoil has prompted a growing number of the country's officials to defect or leak information to the West, creating a new flow of intelligence about its secretive nuclear program, U.S. officials said. "There is a wealth of information-sharing going on, and it reflects enormous discontent among Iranian technocrats," said a former U.S. government official. He added that among senior technocrats in the nuclear program and other fields, "the morale is very low." Sources said there has been a spate of recent defections by Iranian diplomatic and military officials, some of which have not been made public.
