| IAEA head El Baradei rejects EU request to condemn Iran's nuclear program |
| 2006-01-20 |
| The head of the United Nations' nuclear monitor, Mohamed ElBaradei, rejected an EU request to condemn Iran's nuclear program. He was urged to issue a condemnation of the Iranian situation before his agency meets in special session next month. But, though frustrated by Iran's resumption of nuclear research and a slowdown in Iranian cooperation with his inspectors, he has given Tehran until the end of next month to give his inspectors improved access to documents and sites. Only if Iran does not accede would he be ready to declare his investigation was no longer making progress and that his hands were tied, the Financial Times said. ElBaradei's reports are said to usually set the tone for the international debate on the nuclear issue, meaning his decision could weaken U.S.-European efforts for a speedy referral of Iran to the U.N. Security Council. Some are evil by commission, some by omission. |

| #10 It would but unislamic of him to act against Iran. It's really that simple. The fellow is a class A tool. Don't expect him to act on this in any constructive way. |

This guy's turning out to be just about as worthless as Goo-fi. Only if Iran does not accede would he be ready to declare his investigation was no longer making progress and that his hands were tied, the Financial Times said. Ah, but the question is, will the condemnation come then? Or are his hands simply "tied" and that's it as far as declarations go? |

| #5 El Baradei should stop being such a coward or admit that he is openly in favor of helping Iran, no matter what they do. |

| #4 At some point ElBaradei must be found to be complicit in Iran's nuclear program. Long ago I protested ElBaradei's participation on the grounds that if he was unable to focus attention on his native Egypt's own nascent nuclear weapons program, he would likely be ineffective in combatting any other Islamic country's nuclear aspirations. I perceive this as a massive conflict of interest. As I mentioned, at some point this lack of effect becomes complicit. |
