Iran 'hoodwinked' CIA over nuclear plans?

I know I'm obsessed, but liberals usually settle for rewriting history which will hurt future generations, but can be corrected. In the case of the NIE, I believe Left leaning policy makers and the willing press cabal are attempting to rewrite the present and are putting us in grave danger by underestimating Iran.

From the linked article:

British spy chiefs have grave doubts that Iran has mothballed its nuclear weapons programme, as a US intelligence report claimed last week, and believe the CIA has been hoodwinked by Teheran.

The timing of the CIA report has also provoked fury in the British Government, where officials believe it has undermined efforts to impose tough new sanctions on Iran and made an Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities more likely.

I would be crushed to see Israel launch an attack on Iran...crushed I tell ya!

More:

The security services in London want concrete evidence to allay concerns that the Islamic state has fed disinformation to the CIA.

good luck with that...conventional wisdom suggests that the CIA buried and destroyed all evidence contrary to their current conclusions...

Cot'd:

The report used new evidence - including human sources, wireless intercepts and evidence from an Iranian defector - to conclude that Teheran suspended the bomb-making side of its nuclear programme in 2003. But British intelligence is concerned that US spy chiefs were so determined to avoid giving President Bush a reason to go to war - as their reports on Saddam Hussein's weapons programmes did in Iraq - that they got it wrong this time.

Huh. Ya think?

UPDATE

Here is another perspective on the NIE report:

Iran may have resumed
nuclear arms program
