Here's a clip from today's Early Bird website. Every morning, these guys compile news and analysis related to defense issues from a variety of sources. Apparently, Inspector Clouseau is on the scene in Aruba. Or maybe someone just screwed up with the cut-and-paste. Anyone's guess really.

France Rejects U.S. Intelligence

French Defense Minister Herve Morin cast doubt on reports that Iran had halted its suspected nuclear-weapons drive.

“Coordinated information from a number of intelligence services leads us to believe that Iran has not given up its wish to pursue its [nuclear] program,” and is “continuing to develop” it, Mr. Morin told reporters yesterday on a visit to Washington.

The U.S. National Intelligence Estimate, a consensus finding of all 16 U.S. spy agencies, released last month, said Tehran shelved its nuclear weapons program in 2003.

The statement did not specify the new material but said it “may shed a new light on the mode” in which Miss Holloway died and the “method by which her body disappeared.”
