In today's New York Post, there's an article about Iranian defector Ali Reza Asghari, the ex-Deputy Defense Minister. He's now defected and has brought with him a "treasure trove" of documents and maps that will halp justify an attack on Iran.
The confidential files Ali Reza Asghari brought with him provide details about Iran's links to terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad as well as the radical Mahdi Army and Badr Corps in Iraq, according to an influential Arab newspaper.
An Iranian colleague told the paper, Al-Sharq al-Awsat, that Asghari also had secret documents concerning Iran's nuclear missile program.
Obviously, after the cooked up intelligence that preceded the Iraq attack, any sane person would be skeptical about anything we're told at this point. Either way, this is the biggest justification we've yet seen that Iran is attack-worthy and before you know it, we'll hear the phrases "gathering threat" and "ticking time-bomb" and the bombs will start falling.
It still seems like TALKING with Iran before attacking them might be a prudent way to go, but when we're dealing with the Bush administration, human life takes a back seat to more pressing issues like war profiteering and brush-clearing. Anyone have any thoughts on this development? Please convince me that we're not about to attack...please!
