U.S.: Iran Seen 10 Years from Nuclear Bomb
(Washington Post) Dafna Linzer - A U.S. intelligence review has projected that Iran is about a decade away from manufacturing the key ingredient for a nuclear weapon, roughly doubling the previous estimate of five years, according to government sources.

A senior intelligence official said, "it is the judgment of the intelligence community that, left to its own devices, Iran is determined to build nuclear weapons."
