IAEA: "What Syrian Nuclear Program?"

We were going to put this into a link dump, but it's just too tasty:

"The IAEA has no information about any undeclared nuclear facility in Syria and no information about recent reports," said an announcement by the IAEA... The statement went on to say that the IAEA hopes any country with information on the undeclared nuclear activities in another state would pass it on to the agency. According to the IAEA announcement, the agency is in contact with Syrian officials in order to verify the credibility of "recent reports," apparently alluding to U.S. and Israeli claims that the IAF targeted a Syrian nuclear facility in September.

Some people don't trust the IAEA to get to the bottom of Arab and Muslim nuclearization, but we have full confidence in their clever strategy of contacting Syrian officials to see if Syria is in violation of nuclear proliferation treaty. It's the Joe Wilson approach to figuring out whether a country is pursuing weapons of mass destruction.

In other news, nobody's told the IAEA that their lack of knowledge about anything going on anywhere in the world is kind of their opponents' argument.
