Updated: More neocon bullshit about Iran …

In Peek, Lindsay links approvingly to a Congressional report that says the intelligence community, as she put it, doesn't "know shit about Iran."
But let's be clear what this is. It's a report that reflects the views of the same nut jobs who told us we'd face mushroom clouds over American cities if we didn't attack Iraq. They're priming the pump for Iran as the Next Imminent Threat. Their problem is that the intelligence community has weighed in with the disappointing news that Iran is at least five, and possibly ten years from a nuclear weapon (if they're building one at all). That's not very imminent, and certainly won't help scare the Bejesus out of voters in time for the mid-term elections in November.
