(D-the left coast)

The other day I heard Sen. Boxer insist that Iran is “five to ten years away” from developing a nuclear device, and thus our current focus should be on Congressional hearings to investigate the manipulation of intelligence that led us to invade poor old irrelevant Monaco in the sand, Iraq. (I’m paraphrasing.)

She may be right. I assume her projections were based on information to which Senators are privy. If so, did she just leak classified information? If she is wrong, might we ask if she ignored contrary reports and cherry-picked the data? If she is wrong, and Iran not only has a bomb in, oh, 16 days, and uses it down the road, will there be an investigation to determine why and how she came to her conclusions and voted accordingly?*
