| H1 CSIS Iranian Nuclear Weapons? Options for Sanctions and Military Strikes -Anthony H. Cordesman & Khalid R. Al-Rodhan Washington Times U.S. military sees Iran's nuke bomb 5 years away The U.S. military is operating under the assumption that Iran is five to eight years away from being able to build its first nuclear weapon, a time span that explains a general lack of urgency within the Bush administration to use air strikes to disable Tehran's atomic program.

Asia Times Iran's time to talk is over Ahmadinejad has challenged Bush to a debate on world affairs. It's not going to happen. Also, and much more significant, what is not likely to happen is that the US and its international partners will call for dialogue with, rather than punitive action against, Iran over its nuclear program. Yet this is the only way out. - Kaveh L Afrasiabi
Behind the plan to bomb Iran The neo-conservatives' militarization of US foreign policy stems largely from the fact that they operate on behalf of two immensely powerful special interests - the military-industrial complex and the Israeli lobby. The latter, though, is the junior partner in this unspoken alliance: the merchants of arms call the shots. - Ismael Hossein-zadeh

| H19 SecrecyNews The policy infrastructure of U.S. intelligence community is defined by directives issued by the Director of National Intelligence on everything from security policy to roles and missions to relations with Congress. The new system of policy statements, known as Intelligence Community Directives (ICDs), is the successor to the former Director of Central Intelligence Directives (DCIDs). The new ICDs are gradually supplementing, modifying or replacing the existing DCIDs. The DNI has also issued a series of Intelligence Community Policy Memorandums (ICPMs), which are initial statements of policy that have not yet been formalized as an ICD. Several ICDs and ICPMs have recently been released by the Office of the DNI in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from the Federation of American Scientists.They cover such topics as open source intelligence, personnel security, the role of the IC analytic ombudsman, the roles of the various Deputy Directors of National Intelligence, and the use of portable electronic devices in secure facilities.
