Plame? Wilson? the CIA? I saw Heckel and Jeckel, and want to alert them that I believe Putin and the KGB are infiltrating the US with English speaking birds. Geeze. Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny?

And, I damn sure don't trust the Iranians. It looks to me that you have CIA quacks working on Iranian morons. A dangerous mix. But if I were to guess, I would think the Iranians are working hard to get a bomb. After all, it has been over 60 years since we made one without the help of computers. You would think those morons could get it done 65 years later with the help of computers and their muslem brothers in Pakistan. I don’t trust anything the government says anymore.
