#2 Iranian experts told the IAEA that they plan to feed uranium hexafluoride gas into experimental network of centrifuges "for research purposes," the IAEA said. "According to Iran, the intended scale ... is small."

My understanding is that the first bunch of centrifuges they produced didn't work well at high (over 50k)rpm so they had to build completed new ones.

#4 The IAEA has said that while it has found no evidence of a secret Iranian nuclear weapons program, it can't certify that its program is only for civilian purposes.

#5 If the regime in Iran continues on the current course and fails to abide by its international obligations, there is no other choice but to refer the matter to the Security Council," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan

No shit! How about having Israel take care of the problem with a few Bunker busting bombs ?

#8 The program isn't really secret anymore is it?

If you wanted to be Clintonesque with your language couldn't you say that there is "no evidence of a secret program" when everyone knows there is an *open* weapons program?

#9 Experts have said ... that Iran could retaliate by sponsoring terrorist strikes on U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And just how could anyone tell the difference, pray tell?

#10 Iran insists that it has the right as an Non-Proliferation Treaty signatory to enrich uranium. At the same time, it has admitted concealing its program for nearly two decades from IAEA monitoring as required by the treaty.
