There is a very informative op-ed in today’s Washington Post by David Kay. Mr. Kay is the former head of the Iraq Survey Group, which was tasked with searching for WMD’s after the Iraq War. His insights sound very similar to what I have previously written.

I must stress that we need to put partisan politics behind us and actively engage in discourse that will lead to better intelligence gathering in the future.

Below is the last paragraph from Mr. Kay’s op-ed:

Nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran would be a grave danger to the world. That is not what is in doubt. What is in doubt is the ability to the U.S. government to honestly assess Iran’s nuclear status and to craft a set of measures that will cope with that threat short of military action by the United States or Israel.
