This week¹s consensus report from all sixteen U.S. intelligence agencies concludes Iran shut down its nuclear weapons program more than four years ago. News reports say the White House was briefed on the new intelligence assessment as early as July, but Bush says he didn¹t find out the specifics until last week. We speak with investigative journalist Gareth Porter.
