Media up to their old tricks again. AP's trying to start a war with Iran. Fucking propaganda.

Diagram Suggests Iran Working on Bomb

[/b]The story was short–short enough for a careful reader to see that it in no way lived up to that alarmist headline.

But the piece still tried really hard to frighten people. Here's the lead:

Iranian scientists have run computer simulations for a nuclear weapon that would produce more than triple the explosive force of the World War II bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, according to a diagram obtained by the Associated Press.

The diagram was leaked by officials from a country critical of Iran's atomic program to bolster their arguments that Iran's nuclear program must be halted before it produces a weapon. The officials provided the diagram only on condition that they and their country not be named.[b]
