Think Progress reports Cheney distorts Iran intelligence. In the ABC interview he talked about what the NIE said about Iran's nuclear weapons program.
”What it (the NIE) says is that they have definitely had in the past a program to develop a nuclear warhead; that it would appear that they stopped that weaponization process in 2003. We don’t know whether or not they’ve restarted,” he said."
"What Cheney failed to mention is that the NIE also stated that “Tehran had not restarted its nuclear weapons program as of mid-2007” and is “less determined to develop nuclear weapons than we have been judging since 2005.”"
The full interview is here and he's even more evasive. And while Martha Raddatz tried to follow up with questions, shouldn't she have had some facts about what the NIE said?
