Intelligence officials doubt Iran uranium claims, say Cheney receiving suspect briefings

The Bush administration continues to bypass standard intelligence channels and use what some believe to be propaganda tactics to create a compelling case for war with Iran, US foreign experts and former US intelligence officials tell RAW STORY.

One former senior intelligence official is particularly concerned by private briefings that Vice President Dick Cheney is getting from former Office of Special Plans (OSP) Director, Abram Shulsky.

"Vice President Cheney is relying on personal briefings from Shulsky for current intelligence on Iran," said this intelligence official.

Shulsky, a leading Neoconservative and member of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), headed the shadowy and secretive Department of Defense's OSP in the lead-up to the Iraq war -- helping to locate intelligence that would support the Bush administration's case for war with Iraq.

1. I find a certain irony in the fact

that the uranium that Iran is alleged to be buying is supposedly coming from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

That is where the US got the uranium to make the bombs they dropped on civilians at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The PNACers love that kind of irony it seems.

2. I did not know that

Where do we get our uranium today, I wonder.

Some of the uranium came from Canada....
