Iran NIE and Time ‘Til a Nuke – A Correction

You can tell I have other things to do…

Anyhow, I said “in this post”:http://www.totalwonkerr.net/1552/the-iran-niehow-long-until-a-nuke that

bq. …it looks as if the time frame for Iran to build a nuclear weapon in the new NIE is the same as the one in the 2005 NIE. But I think the new estimate might actually suggest that the time frame is slightly longer.

Well, the first glance was right; according to a transcript of a BG briefing about the NIE that was given by some senior intel officials, the time frame in the 07 estimate is the same as the one given two years before.

I don’t think I can post my copy of the transcript, but anyone is welcome to share if they have one.
