Former CIA Chief Questions U.S. Knowledge of Iran's Nuclear Weaponization
(Washington Post) Jennifer Rubin - Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday discussed the issue of Iran's disclosure of the possible military dimensions (PMDs) of its nuclear program. In response, former CIA chief Michael Hayden said: "What he [Kerry] is saying is that we don't care how far they've gotten with weaponization." But the administration should not insist revelations of PMDs are unimportant. "He's pretending we have perfect knowledge about something that was an incredibly tough intelligence target while I was director and I see nothing that has made it any easier." Mark Dubowitz, from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, added, "For Secretary Kerry to claim we have absolute knowledge of Iran's weaponization activities is to assume a level of U.S. intelligence capability that defies historical experience."
