"Iran has no weapons-grade uranium, Congress told"
Iran lacks weapons-grade highly enriched uranium and has not yet made a decision on whether to produce any, US intelligence officials told Congress today.Director of national intelligence Dennis Blair and Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lt. Gen. Michael Maples also said recent Iranian missile tests were not directly related to its nuclear activities. They said the two programs were believed to be on separate development tracks.Mr Blair had been asked to clarify recent conflicting statements from defense officials on Iran's nuclear program.
"We assess now that Iran does not have any highly enriched uranium," Blair said. "We assess that Iran has not yet made that decision," to convert the low-enriched uranium it is making to the weapons-grade material."

Glad someone is using their head.. If we listened to some of the neocons that were doing the talking we would be declaring war already in Iran... hopefully cooler heads will prevail.
