ARTICLE: "Atomic Monitor Signals Concern Over Iran's Work: Cites Lack of Openness; Agency Finds Evidence Pointing to Weapons—Iran's Rebuttal," by Elaine Sciolino, New York Times, 27 May 2008, p. A1.

Actually, don't be surprised.

Iran will continue doing just enough in the direction of weaponizing its growing nuclear technology to warrant all sorts of damning international reports.

Iran will also do just enough to bolster energy ties to New Core pillars like India, Russia and China to make a collective international response virtually meaningless, leaving the U.S. and Israel very unpalatable choices.

But, by all means, be SHOCKED! every time you see such headlines.
