<div>Over and over we hear talk that Iran is attempting to acquire nuclear weapons, yet what is the solid evidence this is true? Just as with Saddam's WMDs before the Iraq invasion, there appears to be a slant in much of the reporting toward assuming Iran is definitely on the path to a nuclear weapon.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Scott Ritter, former Iraq weapons inspector, who correctly warned the US that the claims of Saddam having WMD before we invaded were highly doubtful, is now questioning this assumption that Iran is definitely trying to develop nuclear weapons. In an hour and a half discussion, with audience participation, with Ritter and Seymour Hirsch, that is available as streaming audio from the New York Sound Posse, you can listen to Ritter discuss his book "Target Iran."
