Guardian article mocks AP's "evidence" of Iran's nuclear weapons program

[Brazen]

Uncritical, fear-mongering media propaganda is far too common to take note of each time it appears, but sometimes, what is produced is so ludicrous that its illustrative value should not be ignored.

I find Civil Liberty people dreamy

And he is one of the good lefties, he slams the Democrats all the time.  I don't always agree with him and often he gets carried away but what was it Goldwater said?  Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice?
