Tehran Bans Senior U.N. Inspector
Tehran bans senior U.N. inspector from Iran: diplomat
When Chris Charlier arrived in Iran in April of this year, he was received the same way as had always been the case in each of over 20 visits to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
"Wherever we went, whatever we did, they always followed us, monitoring us with video cameras and capturing every single one of our conversations. Never letting us out of their sight for a second, watching everything over our shoulder."
"How the devil were we supposed to rationally do our work" comments the 64-year old Belgian.
"I haven't been allowed to travel to Iran since April," he was quoted as saying. "Since April, I have had no more contact with the Iranian nuclear file."
For the first time a Viennese based inspector speaks openly and under his own name about the conditions under which UN inspectors try to bring to light the darkness surrounding the Iranian nuclear program.
The reason for his outspoken comments is because since April of this year he is for all practical purposes unemployed. Responsible for this is his Vienna based direct superior, Mohammad El-Baradei.
When Baradei went to Tehran in April for consultations, the chief negotiator of the Shiite theocracy, Ali Larijani gave him an ultimatum to fire Chris Charlier
Tehran denies pursuing atomic weapons but refuses to temporarily halt its enrichment program as demanded by Germany and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.
Charlier was also quoted as saying he believed Iran was probably still hiding things from the IAEA.
"It is very probable that Tehran is doing things in the nuclear field that to this day we have no clue about," he said.
Wild Thing's comment.......
But of course, would we expect nothing less from a terrorist President of Iran.
After seeing the incompetent Blix letting Saddam get away with anything he wanted, Iran simply wants to play the same game as well. Continue to request a change until they get someone as stupid as Blix, or should I say as corrupt, and they'll be home free.

Déjà vu is right. But this time, we don’t need to send in any troops. Within 24 hours our aircraft will have Air Supremacy and can rain iron on suspected nuclear sites at will. Just drop the bunker busters and be done with them.

I'm guessing that it won't sound the same as sitting on the patio during a thunderstorm.
