In 2007 the US government issued an intelligence report claiming that Iran had “halted” its efforts to produce nuclear weapons. On Sunday a confidential United Nations nuclear agency report was leaked to media claiming that Iran actually has been developing nukes, contrary to the 2007 US report. The relevance of this dangerous discrepancy is that the US has recently claimed that al Qaeda is “shrinking” and is having trouble recruiting young Arabs. However, the Washington Times recently reported that al Qaeda is extending its reach, adding recruits and establishing stronger bases in Somalia, Yemen and Pakistan. What is the truth? Last year the United States Secretary of the Treasury assured Americans that named US Banks were financially strong. We have since learned that the statements were false, and known to be false at the time. Be careful in accepting statements made as truth.
