Jeffrey Sterling went to the relevant committee of Congress that has oversight and has the authority to review these things, and reported to them what was going on with Iran. And they did absolutely nothing. And he went to a congress member who told him to flee the country. This is an innocent man trying to blow the whistle on an outrageously reckless, if not criminally warmongering operation, is told to flee the country and the committees in Congress do nothing.
SWANSON: Well you know, the official story, and the story that was presented to the all-white jury that convicted Jeffrey Sterling is that this was an approach to Iran to slow down its nuclear weapons program. That is, you take nuclear weapons plans and introduce mistakes into them. Provide them to Iran without telling them there are mistakes. And this will somehow slow them down.Now, the best information the CIA had at this point, this is in the year 2000, was that Iran didn't have a nuclear weapons program and that Iraq didn't have a nuclear weapons program. So you're introducing nuclear plans into a possibly nonexistent program. And the mistakes, and this was why they were so angry at James Risen's report in his book, and why they got the New York Times to refuse to report it, was that the mistakes were glaringly obvious. In fact, were immediately obvious to the former Russian scientist to whom they were not supposed to be. And they admitted, quite openly, in Jeffrey Sterling's trial that they were taking a risk of proliferating nuclear weapons rather than discouraging their proliferation.
