MURDER, POLITICS, AND THE END OF THE JAZZ AGE
by Michael Wolraich
Most egregious of these was the article's original headline, which read: "Glencore traded with Iranian supplier to nuclear weapons programme."
As should be perfectly clear to journalists and editors alike by now, international intelligence assessments consistently affirm that Iran has no nuclear weapons program. What Iran does have is a nuclear energy program with uranium enrichment facilities, all of which are under international safeguards, strictly monitored and routinely inspected by the IAEA.
Comments
Overall, I am a fan of The Guardian and am happy that they are penetrating the U.S. market. I think the criticism of The Guardian expressed in the above article is well deserved and well done by Nima Shirazi. It is encouraging to read in the update at the bottom that The Guardian responded with a correction.
