USA To IRAN: "Confess" Or Else

US: Iran must 'confess' its past nuke program

The IAEA has been investigating Iran's nuclear programs since revelations in 2003 that the country had conducted nearly two decades of secret atomic activities, including developing enrichment and working on experiments that could be linked to a weapons program.

A recently published U.S. intelligence assessment concluded that in the same year, Iran stopped direct work on creating nuclear arms.

Under a plan agreed to earlier this year with the IAEA, Iran committed itself to answering all lingering questions about its past nuclear activities. That, by implication, included programs that could have weapons applications.

"We are looking for an acknowledgment that they had nuclear weapons," Schulte said. "The end of the year is rapidly approaching (and) we are waiting to see if Iran's leaders are ready to confess."

5. "Iran must confess..." Can you waterboard an entire country?

That would elicit some really meaningful confessions. Tehran would confess to nuking Abadan, while Qom could cop to irradiating Shiraz. All bogus of course, but since torturers expect a torrent of bullshit confessions, I'm sure our fine CIA-trained sadists can separate the swill from the occasional nugget of truth.

Probably not. Water and oil don't mix.
