I don't want to shock you all on an evening that should be devoted to drinking chianti and singing "o sole mio,' but it seems that those U.N. inspectors—remember Mohammed al Baradei, the guy we pretended we wanted fired but then accepted, in yet another act of supine appeasement?—actually report to the Iranian regime. One guy at the IAEA figured out the mullahs were lying—imagine!—and so the mullahs told al Baradei to fire him. Which he did, of course. Have a look.

I wonder why Sy Hersh wasn't on top of this one? What, no witless ex-spooks around to tell him? And Risen, Lichtblau, and those lovable leakers who get fed by Newsweek?
