My, my, my, what have we here?

Nuclear power is *good* if you're a US client state

Remember, the "problem" with Iran wanting nuclear power isn't that Iran wants to build nuclear devices, but that Iran doesn't have a compliant puppet like the (now thankfully ex-)Shah. The B*sdh junta has absolutely no problems with brutal islamic dictatorships (how can they? The Saud family are close personal friends, and the Wahhabi fundamentalists are about as barking mad as the organized christopaths in the USA,) but they can't stand the thought that some state might stand up and defy them, even if that state started out by making a deal to help the Evil Party win the 1980 presidential election.

Cernig claims that Darth Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were involved in arranging to sell the nuclear plants to Iran...

Saddam Hussein and Donald Rumsfeld make a bet about which one can butcher more Iraqi citizens.  Rumsfeld won that bet.
... and this does not sound at all unlikely to me. Honour among thieves, doncha know.
