Fascinating read. Another great investigation into Iran’s nuclear program by @thegoodisis ! @threatintel consulted with them on our Stuxnet investigation and have been following their investigations since, always great research. twitter.com/thegoodisis/st…

If interested, there has been somewhat of an acrimonious— yet needed—debate playing out on our page regarding nonproliferation analysis of Syria and Iran.
Much stems from a highly polarized US arms control community that differs sharply on technical & policy conclusions. twitter.com/thegoodisis/st…

It might help to engage in the substance of the discussion we’re trying to have rather than act narcissistic.

An old debate has resurfaced today, with implications for the integrity of nonproliferation analysis today.

Lewis noted we were far more charitable toward him than he would have been after the CIA did its release in April 2008. But what does that charity mean if they continue to make the same mistakes? Their "analysis" on the Atomic Archives shows that. 7/

Interestingly, it is some of the same people in the so-called progressive community who played such a dishonorable role in the case of the Syrian reactor. Sure, they may be sorry; Cirincione told me in a phone conversation, it was his greatest mistake. 6/

That, in their minds, and some of them told us this, would make it much harder to criticize Israel for the military strike. We have seen the same factors playing out during the last year with the Atomic Archives seized by Israel in Iran. 5/

The simple and quick response--part of the building was buried. Only someone who is self-blinding would stick with that type of argument. In the end, this group, which sadly included Mohammad ElBaradei, did not want to believe it could be a reactor. 4/

Our conviction grew quickly over time. The gadflys, anti-Israeli types, and leftist ideologues did not want the site to be a reactor. Who that is serious would say it could not be a reactor because the building we revealed in imagery was not tall enough? 3/

Nonetheless, there were leaks received by media from US sources, which were not easy to get but dogged reporters did. By the time we published in late Oct. 2007, we were almost certain it was a reactor based on our own analysis, and the WaPo journalists confirmed our findings. 2/

Yes. One had to look, which journalists did and so did we. We spent weeks scanning overhead imagery looking for the site of the bombing. Israel and the US government did not want the information out. 1/

You make excuses for a horrific regime that doesn't hide its hegemonic agenda for ME, that is a proven violator of NPT, a lier&cheat, that over and over again calls Israel a cancer that has no place in the region, while it transfers missiles to Hezbollah, preparing it for war

Ex of how Cirincione lies&distorts: he quotes J. Lewis saying "nothing new in the archives" &claims Lewis examined the documents. I don't know if he did, but I do know that the Lewis quote is from *May 1, 2018*!!! ONE DAY AFTER Netanyahu revealed the archives! See how he lies? pic.twitter.com/cf20y5TYkz

When u say he examined the documents, it means the documents. Which others actually examined. Released that day was just a tiny fraction of info. And if u read @TheGoodISIS reports u would see that there is MUCH that needs to be examined, including what Netanyahu revealed at UN

Lewis, and others who said "nothing new here", was dead wrong. That statement exposes both his biased opinion and serious lack of knowledge of the intracacies of this case, including how IAEA PMD was actually regarded, and how it played out in the negotiations

Iran’s nuclear weapons program was much further along than previously known.
@TheGoodISIS explains what was in all those documents that @TheMossadIL exfiltrated from Tehran. twitter.com/thegoodisis/st…

I was in Vienna BOG/GC 9/07 when bombing confirmed. JC, others on left tried to disabuse me of idea that site hosted N-installation, blaming Bush, that I expected DC gadflies would adopt this as conventional wisdom, but the leaks prevailed. twitter.com/TheGoodISIS/st…

There was plenty of evidence; he chose to ignore it until a sledgehammer hit him
