In 2000 the CIA gave Iran atomic weapon construction plans. Yep, "flawed" plans-supposedly.
This was known as Operation MERLIN and these "flawed" Iranian atomic weapon plans along with all the hidden history and blowback are being overshadowed by the LBN over-Iran and the bomb. Let's forget about the real working bombs of Pakistan's A. Q. Khan ("father of the Islamic bomb" and focus on open sourced info about Operation MERLIN and its blowback.
James Risen was writing about Operation MERLIN early on in his book "State of War". The Guardian published an extended Risen excerpt on January 5, 2006.

Speaking of Operation MERLIN blowback there is the case of CIA whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling.

So let's expand all the Good Reads openly available about Operation MERLIN, its blowback, and get Congress and the Senate educated about how the CIA gave Iran atomic weapon construction plans 15 years ago to prevent them from building an atomic bomb.
Yep.

Not a single other DUer has added anything to this thread so far.
Why?

(26,083 posts)Yep, that's pretty much standard information operations-let's have a meeting in the WH by nuclear powers to talk about Iran and nukes.
In reality there were several Operation MERLIN kind of actions designed to "thwart" Iran from getting it's own bomb-several of them utilizing joint US/Israeli "teams". One of these has a Wikipedia entry that quickly leads to other hidden history for those of US that are concerned about such things as the future of human life.

Where did Sen. McCain get the the "idea" of his modified Beach Boys lyrics to Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran? From MERLIN's failed magicians and it's fallout/blowback?
Kick for participation.
