National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) which first exposed Iran's Nuclear program in 2002 says the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) is incomplete.The NCRI has said that while they do agree that Iran suspended activities in 2003 they only did so to close down a weapons site in Lavisan fearing that it may be detected, transferring the weapons programs to 2 other sites in Lavisan.
Iranian President Ahmadinejad yesterday claims that "...the NIE amounted to a declaration of surrender..." by Washington.
The NCRI said that Iran restarted its weapons program in 2004---the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps initiated and led Iran's nuclear program and said that it has identified 21 senior nuclear physicists at NCRI Imam Hossein University as Commanders and Cadres of the Revolutionary Guard, "...anytime you have the military involved with the nuclear program, we are talking about the bomb..."
NCRI says that its sources for the intelligence is from High Ranking Iranian Officials, Military Officers and the Revolutionary Guard as well as from individuals working in the new Lavisan facilities.
John Bolton former Ambassador to the United Nations says, "...the current NIE freely admits to having only moderate confidence that the suspension continues and says that there are significant gaps in our intelligence and that our analysts dissent from their initial judgment on suspension...the NIE opens the way for Iran to achieve its military nuclear ambitions in an essentially unmolested fashion, to the detriment of us all."
