alba grob to exposing secret u.s. military operations overseas to his latest piece which pokes holes in the commonly held assertion here in washington that iran is developing a nuclear weapons program mr hurst sits down with r.t. to discuss his latest story in the new yorker magazine were here he says the obama administration allowing fear and not facts dictate a potentially disastrous foreign policy towards a wrong mr hurst thank you so much for sitting down with us eastern europe just a geisha is the united states wrong to assume the worst when it comes to iran if the fear is based on the notion that you know that some our iran has a bomb or is going to get a bomb soon that's ridiculous because if you could have evidence of it from their own intelligence community. the people who talk with the bird go but know there's no weapons there we've known that for years we've been looking for years there for years and years we support a sanctions program that's designed to stop the punishment is. aimed at stopping

the arrhenius from doing something you know we know they're not doing for me and i wrote me earlier analogy between what they're doing what obama's doing with iran is very close to what bush and dick cheney the vice president of the iraq there is they wanted to punish they wanted to make a case against iraq they didn't like the problem critics. and so we made a case about nuclear weapons we were if you remember they were talking about mushroom clouds making a case to go to war i don't i'm not suggesting these guys want to go to war i mean there are elements in america so big elements that israel that would would love to see us attack iran but that would be suicidal and. there's no actual evidence of the iranians developing a nuclear weapons program but a lie why the the fear mongering and the rhetoric whether it's the administration or the mainstream media there's no evidence at all but it is a sham there's no evidence anywhere i went you go you go to london you go to you go to you go to the french you go to the germans they all say the same thing we thought we still think they might want to go what we can we don't have anything it

should be open and shut we should move on but we're not instead which you're seeing is the malini and what i wrote and they're ignoring it up to a point there's always a group that doesn't ignore stuff but the mainstream press basically they have their narrative. and they don't want to change america i've been writing about the secret operations we've had inside iran in the new yorker for about five years because they started in late zero four maybe zero five vice president cheney was convinced it was a secret facility somewhere underground in iran and so our special forces units were going in and we went into herat in afghanistan we went into baluchistan. in pakistan we've been going into iran covertly with money and chemicals and support chemicals i mean by prestige farming explosive materials we've been dealing with the chandelier we've been dealing with the iranian kurds is you read dissident groups inside iran with the goal of trying to trying to find. neutralizing their

with their weapons program and finding their secret program we found nada nothing and now it is going to internal what i wrote about in the magazine is that in two major internal studies that known as national intelligence estimates so the most i can say documents we have in our government in terms of an assessment and they both said nothing there what the obama administration disagrees with. i mean big deal i mean you know. i'm doing my job when the white house is mad at me i couldn't care less and by the way. from my point of view these guys have no more no more then no more straight with them than the bush white house was and that's a shocking thing to say but they they're pretty much the same why the mainstream media not reporting i get a lot of stuff from colleagues around the world were more open than the american press is to its criticism of america but i asked somebody one of the guys from the boston globe guy and he just said something nice they may say well why don't you

write about it you know you don't have to write the pick up on it he said we're not going to give two thousand words to the new yorker. so you do talk about there is now a sense with with the internet and everybody competing for the fewer and fewer dollars that are out there is a sense of. economic competitiveness too but that's only part of it the real issue with the old line i mean the is the white house controls things in a way that they always do and this white house is just as interested in controlling things and when somebody like me comes out you just kick me around and so and it's easy to do because everybody's very eager but you don't get now as you're perfectly professional stories representing the view of the ministration but they're not getting anybody on the inside is telling them a different story and so we're starting to start with the major newspapers are reporting pretty much what the administration wants and so when somebody like me goes up against them. it's the same story it happens and this story is happening

every story of done since nine eleven really a good one. what so why is it you cannot with a piece that says iran is not the threat it's made out to be and you're suddenly considered a heretic it's not about me it's almost institutional as i said they have a narrative narrative is iran is bad at making bombs even if we can't find it we know it must be they're evil people and so what's the consequence for the american public if they're not aware that most american public is right there with twenty four hour cable more interested in you know the leaders stupid things some congress i did with. the internet which is chronic and goes all the time has the united states taken the right course in responding to the so-called arab spring you know we have such a we view everything to what american prism you know everything and it's to lead probably who believe that the sun revolved around us and we didn't revolve around that anyway. look if you're an iranian in the middle east and you know what's going

on in bahrain and you see the white house. iran. and criticize the run at the same time everybody in iran and everybody in the middle east is watching what's going on in bahrain everything nothing how do you think it impacts going to be a park or see there's nowhere for us a bit in that is not my gulf anymore because we've been betrayed the trust. in the streets of egypt when obama finally came in support of them there was there was who did you know they were done with us they wanted him to board early and so. we've missed the boat on that those movements were probably the best tools we've hair certainly better than the use of force that we've been using the night raids and all that stuff and. you know the renditions and yet he's you know we've marked it up so it's true mess this administration is focused on iran as the source of all

the evil iran is helping it's helping the syrian mccardell right do do what it does in syria as if the sunni macabre in syria needs any help from anybody to get tough you know how to do it but president obama was elected because he was supposed to represent change response to chart this country down a different course than the bush administration oh come on come on don't get serious for me so the election results of being reelected the only hope a lot of us have is that in the second term such a break i get a second term we may be here become the link of we thought he might be but he's got he's got he's got a you know he's got a reelection. you could argue that he knows that getting a son who did not is great but he's going to be elected with the price of oil and jobs and this high because he's taking become he's thinking right now because we're being we're paying for when you have dollars for oil for gasoline a gallon and so what's his big issue his big issue is he's going to could be the saudis that is going to make nice and look the other way is the middle east people

around the middle east and spend their money because he wants to meet girls more a day of war what's your assessment of the obama administration's handling of the afghanistan war yesterday. the double minus i mean i know everybody i'm told even the most committed hawk with the exception of general petraeus and other people have to say what they have to say i know nobody who thinks we have any future afghanistan the faster we get out of there i was talking to somebody the other day. a very conservative very pro war person saying just the thought of another american life or the only thing we see in terms of america's terms of here afghans getting crazy no more it's not worth it not worth one more life and what's going on there is ghastly just ghastly. it's out of control with those with leaderships when you have a bunch of boys running around in fear of death you know from a landmine although iraq of course is still unraveling. as we talk day by day or

actually to be probably obama's biggest problem next year and it's going to be a very tough call about whether he stays or goes with the troops defeat if you keep troops there he's got my private sector and those of the more extreme shia going after us and it's going to be a bad report on the vietnam war you've reported on conflicts throughout the years throughout the decades what happened to the learning. learning in america. that there is no learning curve we don't learn from the past mistakes we haven't spent your life exposing us but i'm also realistic fact there are better and. that we could go into another country which we knew very little with no language and think we could change a society. going into it we think we could do that i mean was there no need to you know what can we learn what we learned from vietnam we went in there and you know we could even win that one very well that was sort of silly so. there was an

improvement in the press so i think when ronald reagan went into nicaragua salvadorian it was more criticism so i thought maybe we could learn something from you but at the last ten years or so again an eleven. part of it was america want to pay back we were scared. the reason we you know i would argue that the american press totally failed after nine eleven we became george was bush's cheerleader and his partner instead of looking critically at things and that's happening now to mr hurst thank you so much for your time. in one thousand nine hundred two dr ralph ben straight university of pennsylvania said what if i can take the gene responsible for growth in human beings and put it
