caught this tidbid on Slate's Today's Papers

from one of the places i go every morning:

According to a Page One Post piece, a group of scientists from the U.S. government and abroad have confirmed that traces of weapons-grade uranium found in Iran's nuclear equipment parts were indeed a result of contamination by Pakistan, which sold Iran the second-hand equipment. "The biggest smoking gun that everyone was waving is now eliminated with these conclusions," said a "senior official." As the WP notes, last year now-Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton accused the Iranians of lying about the contamination.

boy, doesn't this just make you cringe?
