Reminder of CIA's Operation Merlin

Just as the situation with Iran's nuclear program is heating up, Newsmax reminds us that President Clinton likely helped Iran gain valuable information to build nuclear weapons. (I don't think we'll hear Hillary talk too much about this Clinton "legacy.")

In a hairbrained scheme that was personally approved by then-President Clinton, the CIA deliberately gave Iranian physicists blueprints for part of a nuclear bomb that likely helped Tehran advance its nuclear weapons development program.

The Guardian has much more on this sorry tale.

Based on the CIA's history of dysfunction, as well as Clinton's prior nuclear giveaways to North Korea and China, it's hard to doubt the veracity of this story. In defense of Willy, I place most of the blame on the CIA, as presidents typically just go along with the agency's recommendations.
