In regards to ElBaradei's latest IAEA report on Iran's nuclear program, a cascade of dishonest conclusions have been drawn by US and UK journalists. Am I surprised? Not really, however it still makes me sick to my stomach. The conclusions that have been made in numerous articles have been worded to sound like they're directly from the IAEA report, when in fact the report says no such thing. This is utterly irresponsible. The Guardian, for example, opened with: "Iran has installed 3,000 centrifuges for enriching uranium — enough to begin industrial scale production of nuclear fuel and build a warhead within a year, the UN’s nuclear watchdog reported last night." The IAEA report NEVER mentions a single thing about Iran building a bomb within a year. I strongly advise everybody to read the actual full text of the November IAEA report (pdf).
