Congress funds 400 mil in covert spy ops against Iran-2/2

Hersh: Congress Agreed to Bush Request to Fund Major Escalation in Secret Operations Against Iran

Congressional leaders agreed to a request from President Bush last year to fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran aimed at destabilizing Iran's leadership, according to a new article by veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker magazine. The operations were set out in a highly classified Presidential Finding signed by Bush which, by law, must be made known to Democratic and Republican leaders. The plan allowed up to $400 million in covert spending for activities ranging from supporting dissident groups to spying on Iran's nuclear program. Hersh joins us from Washington DC.

indeed war is imminent, especially after the history of the u.s. in iran with the installation of the shah in the 50's. those who remember this regime and the tyranny that came with it have instilled the hatred of those times for the u.s. in subsequent generations. oil in the area of iran and surrounding nations is of tantamount interest to the u.s. and iran scares us. iran knows what we are trying to do to gain a foothold in the region.
