Sort of like Jimmy Carter calling Smirk out at Coretta Scott King's funeral.

Just because there are some people in the Smirk Admin who are not happy about Iran potentially getting nuclear weapons, it does not mean that Iran getting nuclear weapons is a good idea. (Even a broken clock is right twice a day.) Amnesty's latest report on Iran:

http://www.amnestyusa.org/countries/iran/index.do

Amnesty International continues to document serious human violations including detention of human rights defenders and other prisoners of conscience, unfair trials, torture and mistreatment in detention, deaths in custody and the application of the death penalty. Iran has one of the highest number of recorded executions of any country in the world. Amnesty International is particularly concerned about the execution of children and individuals who were minors when their crimes were alleged to have taken place. In the past few months, a number of human rights abuses--including large-scale arrests, incommunicado detention and torture--have taken place in the context of recent unrest among the country's Arab and Kurdish minorities. Lawyers, journalists and others who have spoken out against human rights violations have themselves been targeted for abuse.

And just because Gore points out that Iran is evil, it doesn't mean that Gore would automatically support a war against Iran. He called Sadam evil quite a number of times, and still opposed the invasion of Iraq from the moment it was suggested.
