Although international concern is growing about Iran's nuclear program and its regional ambitions, diplomats here say most U.S. intelligence shared with the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency has proved inaccurate and none has led to significant discoveries inside Iran...
"Since 2002, pretty much all the intelligence that's come to us has proved to be wrong," a senior diplomat at the IAEA said. Another official here described the agency's intelligence stream as "very cold now" because "so little panned out."...
American officials privately acknowledge that much of their evidence on Iran's nuclear plans and programs remains ambiguous, fragmented and difficult to prove.

I must be pretty bad at arithmetic. You mean the IMF thing? I don't get the connection between detaining IMF employees and bogus Iran intelligence. But I would definitely love to hear that story.
I listened to an interview yesterday with someone who was in Iran recently. You might find it interesting.
Kim Hill interviews David Barsamian.
Thanks, badaunt.
