I've Been Thinking:

Last week the Director of National Intelligence repudiated that ridiculous report claiming that Iran had stopped nuclear development in the fall of 2003 aka NIE, the National Intelligence Estimate.

Michael McConnell testified at a hearing in front of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
He said: "If I had 'til now to think about it, I would probably change a few things." I would change the way we describe the Iranian nuclear program. I would have included that there are the component parts, that portion of it, maybe the least important, had halted."

What is McConnell's present day estimate of Iranian nuclear development?
"We remain concerned about Iran's intentions and assess with moderate to high confidence that Tehran at a minimum is keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons."

Now that is an accurate and honest assessment.
Why didn't we hear that until now?
What took so long?
