In this space a week or so ago, I called out plaintively for more media skepticism on the drumbeat, eerily familiar, regarding Iran's nuclear intentions and capabilities. Here, both to serve that skepticism and to be subject to it, is a pair of highly suggestive paragraphs from the Asia Times, regarding the Iranian nuclear facility at Natanz:

Natanz has been under the IAEA's purview since suspicions about Iran's activities surfaced. It was prompted by reports from an Iranian opposition organization, National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and led ElBaradei to tour Iran's nuclear facilities in February 2002, including the incomplete plant in Natanz about 500 kilometers south of Tehran.

The NCRI is the political arm of the controversial People's Mujahideen of Iran, which both the EU and US governments officially brand terrorist but unofficially work with increasingly against the Tehran theocracy.

Shades of Chalabi and the INC. Anybody care to follow this up?
