Well, it does seem to be a puzzle within a puzzle, doesn't it? The Grand Ayatollah made a very specific statement some days ago and was absolute in his denials of developing nuclear weapons. What are the chances that a major religious figure with strong ethical convictions in that country would make an absolute denial if he knew the secular govt was about to announce they have a bomb? He would have to stand in front of his congregations and admit to a huge lie or appear to being subject to the rule of the pragmatic side of Iran's bureaucracy. It would result in such a huge rift in their govt and a tarnishing of moral authority of the Ayatollah, I wonder if he would commit that sort of error.

Thanks, Arch. I been drawn and quartered in these parts a few times. It takes thick skin & probably a thick head to keep coming back.....
