In a what has to be a leaked signal to Iran we are getting news about what a high level Iranian defector is telling US Intelligence about Iran’s nuclear efforts:

Iraqi [sic] general, Ali Reza Asgari, who disappeared in Istanbul last February, has defected and is being held by the United States, Yedioth Ahronot published Sunday.

…

His defection was made possible thanks to an intricate CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) operation, climaxing in him joining Western intelligence officers in Istanbul, who than had him and his family transferred to the US.

Side note here. You know all those CIA planes flying through Europe to safe houses? Well they probably don’t just fly nabbed terrorists. When people blow our national security secrets they put us all at risk. Yes, these powers can be abused. But they are the best weapons we have to understanding what is coming our way. By exposing CIA flights and safe havens people expose defectors like this man to assassination (as well as our people on the front lines trying to extract this man and his family). And if these defectors are killed we don’t know what is coming our way. Something the SurrenderMedia should think about before the expose more of our defenses to our enemies

Up until now, Iran – according to known intelligence – has been building two nuclear plants, in Arak and Bushehr, and has been using centrifuges to enrich uranium.

Iran, Asgari told his interrogator’s is working in another, stealth path, toward achieving its nuclear goal.

This third method involves attempts to enrich uranium by using laser beams along with certain chemicals designed to enhance the process. These trials are held in a special weapons facility in Natanz.

…

The fact the Iranians are trying to find new ways to enrich uranium is not new onto itself, but the progress made, at least according to the information given by Asgari, is much greater than was suspected.

“You have to applaud the Iranian intelligence for being to keep this a secret for so many years,” said a US source.

Western intelligence agencies are now busy analyzing the information Asgari provided them with, and estimating just how long is it before Iran has a nuclear bomb.

This, said the US source, is one of the reasons why the information given by Asgari, implementing Iran in various global terror activities, has remained under wraps.

We have a choice folks. We can let the Mad Mullahs get the bomb and blow Israel and our forces to kingdom come or we can stop them from becoming nuclear armed Islamo Fascists (the conventional armed variety is bad enough thank you). Wishing this is not our choice is not an answer – it is an escape from reality.
