William M. Arkin<\/strong>: in What’s In Those Syria Satellite Shots? <\/em>Washington Post<\/a><\/p>\n

“The military and intelligence officials and watchers I’ve talked to say the evidence they’ve seen is anything but definitive – though they’re getting most of what they know from the media, given how closely guarded U.S.-Israeli discussions have been.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Jeffrey Lewis<\/strong>: in Syria and Nuclear Weapons, Again, <\/em>ArmsControlWonk<\/a> <\/p>\n

“Suddenly, I understand why the intelligence from Israel, as Kessler reported, was “restricted to a few senior officials under the instructions of national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley, leaving many in the intelligence community unaware of it or uncertain of its significance.”<\/p>\n

Because we’d already<\/em> looked at the building and Hadley knew what the IC would say.”<\/p>\n

David Albright<\/strong>, president of the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) in Washington, D.C. in Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n

“The photo — taken Sept. 13, 2003 by an American commercial satellite — could be proof that U.S. officials may have known about the facility long before the Israeli mission. …<\/p>\n

“I’m sure they knew something,” said David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) in Washington, D.C. “They didn’t know it’s a reactor, that’s pretty clear (sic). I’m sure they, in scanning Syria, came across it.” …<\/p>\n

“The Israelis stumbled upon this, were surprised and acted quickly (sic),” Albright said. “And so we don’t know what evidence they collected or (if) they just panicked and decided to act without knowing and worried about the worse case.” …<\/p>\n

We’d like to know if Syria is going to try to build another nuclear facility or nuclear reactor someplace else,” Albright said. “Perhaps be more careful this time (sic).”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
