Documents Linking Iran to Nuclear Weapons Push May Have Been Fabricated
by Gareth Porter
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has obtained evidence suggesting that documents which have been described as technical studies for a secret Iranian nuclear weapons-related research program may have been fabricated.
The documents in question were acquired by U.S. intelligence in 2004 from a still unknown source — most of them in the form of electronic files allegedly stolen from a laptop computer belonging to an Iranian researcher. The US has based much of its push for sanctions against Iran on these documents.
The new evidence of possible fraud has increased pressure within the IAEA secretariat to distance the agency from the laptop documents, according to a Vienna-based diplomatic source close to the IAEA, who spoke to RAW STORY on condition of anonymity. More here.

As I see it, war becomes inevitable when a nation is attacked with death-dealing weapons. That is why no nation on earth is not prepared for its defence.
As admitted, Hamas fired rockets at Isreal before it retailated with the bombings. There were, of course, claims and counterclaims that the other party started the aggression. Now, who are we to believe any one side? Only God would know the truth.
I read of the cruelty of 'democratic' Isreali bombs killing innocent women as well as children. Can anyone truly and honestly claim Hama rockets are not as 'democratic'? Are Hama rockets able to select only adult males, presumed guilty ones only, to put to death? No one can be blamed for assuming that no innocent children or women of Isreal are killed as we never read of them in our unbiased? report.
How fair can we be in our condemnation of any side?
I beg to differ. The ceasefire that started from June 2006 was broken by the Israelis when they launch massive land and air attacks[1] first on the 4th of November 2008, killing 6 Palestinians in Gaza, and second on the 17th November 2008, the bombardment killed another four[2]. Therefore, it is the right of the Palestinians to defend themselves against the aggressors, the Israelis, who broke the truce. About the Hamas' ability to target, in the last 10 years, 20 Israelis have been killed in the course of the conflict in contrast to 600 Palestinians in just a week[3]. And now the number in the second week of the bombing, is close to 800[4]. What would you think,sir, will the USA or Israel do if they lost 800 in just a fortnight? Are they going to just sit around and pick their nose? No, of course not. And I'll make it clear that for home made rockets, Hamas' rockets had been hitting the targets quite accurately compared to the Israelis, which are using "smart" bombs, "precision" bombs courtesy of the USA, and most of the time miss the "terrorists" and "accidentally " blasted UN schools, UN humanitarian aid vans and the red cross workers instead, killing hundreds of civilians, and as i have stated, children.
