Vamwe vekuAmerica vakanzwa nezvazvo New York Times mutori wenhau uye munyori webhuku James Risen uye kuramba kwake kufumura kwakabva. Asi, nekuti mishumo mizhinji pamusoro penyaya iyi yakanzvenga zvine hungwaru nyaya yezvayakange yataurwa, vanhu vashoma vanogona kukuudza. Muchokwadi, Risen akashuma (mubhuku, sa New York Times akateerera chikumbiro chehurumende kuti zvinyarare) kuti kare mugore ra2000 CIA yakapa hurongwa hwezvombo zvenyukireya kuIran. Kukanganisa kwakaunzwa muzvirongwa, nechinangwa chakataurwa chekudzikisira chirongwa cheIran chezvombo zvenyukireya kana chiripo. Kutaura kwaRisen kuti kukanganisa kwainyatsojeka, kusanganisira kune yaimbova-yeRussia pfuma yakapihwa kuendesa hurongwa kuIran, yakaita kuti chirongwa ichi chitaridzike zvakanyanya kupfuura chainzwika pakutanga.
Jeffery Sterling, anoshanda weCIA weaimbove-yeRussia asset, akabatwa nemhosva kutanga kwegore rino kuve sosi yaRisen. Akatongerwa mhosva nekuda kwehumbowo hunozivikanwa se "meta-data" iyo NSA inoti hatifanirwe kunetsekana nazvo, asi iyo dare rekukwidza nemusi weChina rakatonga kuunganidzwa kwakawanda zvisiri pamutemo. Sterling ari kutarisirwa kutongerwa kugara mujeri kwenguva yakareba neMuvhuro.
Munguva yekutongwa kwaSterling, iyo CIA pachayo yakaburitsa pachena nyaya hombe pane iya yayakarovera paSterling. Iyo CIA yakaratidza, nekusaziva pasina kupokana, kuti mushure mekunge hurongwa hwezvombo zvenyukireya hwadonhedzwa kune veIrani, CIA yakanga yafunga kune imwe midziyo yaaizotevera kuhurumende yeIraq nechinangwa chimwe chete. Iyo CIA yakaratidza izvi nekupinda muhumbowo iyi tambo:
S., anozivikanwawo saBob S., aive uye ari mukuru weCIA. M ipfupi yeMerlin inova kodhi yeaimbova Russian uye zvakare zita rekushanda (Operation Merlin). Iyo tambo inoreva kuwedzera kwakashata kwekushanda kune imwe nzvimbo kunze kweIran. Zita reimwe nzvimbo iyi rinotanga nevhawero, nokuti rinotevera chivakashure chokuti “AN.”
Tarisa zvakanyanya pane zvinyorwa zvetambo. Mabhii anomira mumitsetse yakatwasuka pamwe chete nemitsara yakachinjika yakajairwa. Igridi. Izwi risipo pamutsetse wechinomwe rinotanga nevhawero uye rine mavara mashanu. Inogona kuva IRAQI kana OMANI.

Humbowo huripo hwekusarudza Iraq pamusoro peOman sechinangwa chechipiri cheOperation Merlin hunorema kudarika hwakashandiswa kutongera Jeffrey Sterling nemhosva yekuzivisa veruzhinji nezvechinangwa chekutanga. Oman haisati yambonzi paruzhinji nemunhu ane kana kutevera chirongwa chezvombo zvenyukireya. Oman haina kumbobvira yazivikanwa sechinangwa chemauto eUS. Iraq muna 2000 yanga iri chinangwa chekuedza kwakawanda kweCIA-yakatsigirwa. Zvombo zveIraq zvaive zvakanyanya kutariswa neCIA. Mukati memakore maviri, zvirevo nezvezvombo zveIraq zvaizoshandiswa neCIA kutsigira kurwiswa kweUS kuIraq kwaizouya munaKurume 2003.
Zvakataurwa muna 2002-2003 naPresident George W. Bush nevaimbova National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice ekuti pfuti inopfungaira inogona kubva kuIraq muchimiro chegore rehowa inotora chiedza chakasiyana patinoziva kuti nguva pfupi yapfuura CIA yakanga yafunga kupa Iraq hurongwa hwezvombo zvenyukireya sechikamu chechirongwa icho Condoleezza Rice akanyengetedza ivo pachavo. New York Nguva dzekusaburitsa pachena.
Muna 1995, mukuwasha waSaddam Hussein Hussein Kamel akanga audza vakuru vehurumende veUnited States neBritish kuti "zvombo zvose-biological, makemikari, missile, nyukireya zvakaparadzwa." Asi, pana Gumiguru 2, 2002, Mutungamiri Bush akati, “Hurumende ine masayendisiti uye zvivako zvokugadzira zvombo zvenyukireya, uye iri kutsvaka zvinhu zvinodiwa kuita kudaro.” Ichi chaive chirevo chaaizoisawo mutsamba kuCongress uye mune yake 2003 State of the Union Address.
Mutevedzeri weMutungamiriri Dick Cheney akasvika pakuda kutora, munaKurume 16, 2003, ipapo Meet The Press, "Uye tinotenda kuti akagadzirazve zvombo zvenyukireya."
Pakanga pasina humbowo hweizvi, hongu, uye humbowo hwekunyepedzera hwakanyatsogadzirwa, kusanganisira magwaro emanyepo airatidza kuti Iraq yaiedza kutenga uranium, uye ongororo isiriyo yemachubhu ealuminium aifanirwa kunyatsotsvakwa mushure menguva dzose nyanzvi. akaramba kupa mhinduro yaidiwa.
“Tinoziva kuti pane zvinhu zvave zvichitumirwa . . . kuIraq. . . yemachubhu ealuminium anongokodzera chete - zvemhando yepamusoro zvealuminium maturusi [sic] anonyatsokodzera zvirongwa zvezvombo zvenyukireya, zvirongwa zvecentrifuge," akadaro Condoleezza Rice paCNN's. Yanonoka Edition neWolf Blitzer musi waSeptember 8, 2002.
Apo nyanzvi dzeDhipatimendi reMagetsi, Nyika, uye Dziviriro dzakaramba kutaura kuti machubhu ealuminium muIraq aive ezvivakwa zvenyukireya, nekuti vaiziva kuti havangagone kuve uye vangangoita zvemaroketi, vakomana vaviri kuArmy's National Ground. Intelligence Center padhuze neCharlottesville, Va., Vakafara kusungira. Mazita avo aiva George Norris naRobert Campus, uye vakagashira “mubairo wokuita basa” (mari) yebasa racho. Ipapo Secretary of State Colin Powell akashandisa zvakataurwa naNorris 'naCampus mukutaura kwake kweUN kunyangwe yambiro yevashandi vake kuti zvainge zvisiri chokwadi.
Hurumende yeUS haina kumbobvira yaita chero kuedza kwakadai kuratidza nhema Oman sekutsvaga zvombo zvenyukireya.
Ko CIA yakatevera naMerlin uye yakapa chero chinhu kuhurumende yeIraq? Yakapa hurongwa hwezvombo zvenyukireya senge Iran? Yakapa zvikamu zvezvombo zvenyukireya, sezvakamboitirwa Iran asi isina kuteverwa?
Hatizivi. Asi isu tinoziva kuti CIA yakaramba ichibhadhara "Merlin" nemukadzi wake kune rimwe sevhisi. Sezvakataurwa naMarcy Wheeler, "pamwe chete, CIA yakabhadhara Merlins ingangoita $413,223.67 mumakore manomwe mushure mekunge James Risen akanganisa kushanda kwaMerlin sechinhu." Kune zvese zvatinoziva, isu vateresi tichiri kupa mhuri yeMerlin mari.
