Mon, Jun 23, 2008 at 11:27:58 am PDT
As we noted Friday, the media were reporting that IAEA “watchdog” Mohamed ElBaradei warned that an attack on Iran would turn the Middle East into a “ball of fire” (goodness gracious), and threatened to quit his job. What the media did not tell you: in this interview in Arabic with Al-Arabiya ...
