After years of them talking about the looming threat from Iran we see this:

In a stunning reversal of Bush administration conventional wisdom, a new assessment by U.S. intelligence agencies concludes Iran shelved it’s nuclear weapons program over four years ago.

Chenny has been sitting on this NIE report for months. NRO has no idea what they are talking about.

ABC News

NRO is not trustworthy nor do they have good judgement, which is a bad combination. Even Buckly finds them to be a sad lot at this point.
