This article is so bad, it makes the AP article look credible. I am not sure what I am most alarmed at, the hysteria and lack of substance in this report or the fact that Reuters allowed themselves to publish it. It’s an appaling piece, and completely incoherent.
Newmax went even further, by including the Reuters piece and then changing the headline to read:
“Study: Iran is Working on Nuclear Bomb, Not Energy”
The study refers to a new report by ISIS (who else), and includes some absolutely absurd and bizarre quotes from David Albright. Scott, when you last interviewed Albright, he sounded at least a little reasonable, if not way off the mark.
Either Reuters are totally mischaracvterizing Albrights comments, or Albright is a 2 faced propagandist. Scott, is there any chence you could get Albright back on your show and fire some hard questions at him? When you interviewed him, he claimed that Braod and Sanger were mischaracerizing his statements, but they continue to cite him (along with the Times Online) so I can’t help but feel that Albright is jsut an opportunist who is seeking his 15 minutes of fame.

Thanks. Confused indeed. I’ll try to get Albright back this week.
What would be awesome Scott.
I’d also be curious to hear what he has to say about the forged document from the Times Online article that also quoted him.
