National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran

It was a sad day when I learned and understood that the CIA, NSA, DoD, FBI and other intelligence gathering institutions were run by an extensive network of Democrats and other liberal progressives. My sorrow and anger only worsened when these supposedly dedicated and loyal Americans began leaking secrets to the press, having one of their own agents push her husband for a job that he was set to sabotage regarding nuclear materials and then lie about her "under cover" work to make it appear that her identity was a "secret" all to try and make the Bush Administration look bad. In fact, the entire CIA and NSA seem to be infected with the same Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) that has the NY Times and the Washington Post saying and doing irrational things.

Now the q007 NIE on Iran is published and it totally contradicts conventional knowledge and wisdom on Iran. It does so in an almost BDSish manner after indicating that Iran quit pursuing the nuclear option in 2003 (Bush was trying to make up the intelligence just like he and evil Cheney did in Iraq and we're not going to let him do it in Iran so...Iran stopped its nuclear program in 2003....so there Bush!).

This might be great news if it weren't so laughably partisan and full of BDS. Want to know why? NIE's are put together by more than a dozen (decidely liberal) intelligence organizations including the CIA and, the last bastion of "Jimmy Carterism" in the USA, the State Department. Here's what the group said on Iran in their 2005 NIE: "....we can with a high degree of confidence confirm that Iran is determined to develop nuclear weapons despite its international obligations and international pressure". While not exactly opposite in wording it is clearly intended to be exactly opposite in meaning, from the 2007 NIE: "...we can with a high degree of confidence confirm that we do not know whether [Iran] currently intends to develop nuclear weapons" and "in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program."

All of these "intelligence" players are still in place at the same organizations. In 2005 they could, with a "high degree of confidence" say that the Iranians were going full throttle on their nuclear program but in 2007 with a "high degree of confidence" that the program halted in 2003.

Does that make any sense at all? If you came up with completely opposite conclusions and decisions at your job just two years apart that encompassed the same periods (you're sure that in 2005 Iran is working on nuclear weapons but oh, sorry in 2007 they STOPPED the program in 2003 but....you didn't know that in 2005????) wouldn't you lose your job? Sounds like the utterly partisan and liberal propaganda that we have gotten out of the CIA et al since George Bush took office doesn't it?
