People,
The Iranians asked for a Soviet warhead. They approached a former Soviet warhead designer and offerred him $millions. This Russian has morals ... or is rich enough that he didn`t care. He notified the Americans. The CIA asked him to continue but to fudge the equations.
He did so. For whatever reasons, the CIA pissed off this Russian warhead designer. He gave his story to the NYT.
He is adament, however, that what he gave the Iranians was not workable. He did state that the Iranians does have the knowledge to discover what is wrong ... only if they test.
