GE-RECHT AKTUELL: Reuel Marc Gerecht, in a former life one of our best covert operatives acting in the Middle East, has a Weekly Standard piece on the Iranian Manhattan Project and why, to his mind, (1) more than covert action is needed to stop it, and (2) even if it weren't, Langley is extraordinarily adverse to covert action in Iran, leaving it to Messrs Shulsky and Luti's Office of Special Plans, which would in turn face its own bureaucratic obstacles. For my part, I need to go mull(ah) over his arguments a bit before commenting, but Gerecht is always eminently readable. The Standard's lucky to have him.
