Ignoring facts, Albright continues to peddle Israeli line that inspections won’t detect Iran stealing HEU for a bomb.http://on.wsj.com/YCWlYJ

Pink Shrouds Aimed to Draw Attention to Iran Military Site, Analysts Say by Gareth Porter
http://original.antiwar.com/porter/2012/09/07/pink-shrouds-aimed-to-draw-attention-to-iran-military-site-analystThe latest episode in the months-long media story of alleged Iranian “sanitisation” of the site at Parchin began with an Aug. 22 story by the Associated Press Vienna correspondent, George Jahn, who has long served as a conduit for stories leaked by Israeli officials.
J’adore cette dernière tournure: «who has long served as a conduit for stories leaked by Israeli officials».

Des #nanos dans la soupe miso
Un rapport signalé par Isis ( Institute of Science in Society) et réalisé par l’Université du Texas El Pasos révèle que les nano-particules les plus couramment utilisées, déjà soupçonnées d’avoir un effet toxique pour la santé, contamineraient aussi les cultures. Elles se se fixeraient sur les plantes et tout particulièrement sur les plants de soja.
On avait déjà du mal à trouver du miso depuis #Fukushima, mais là on va craindre la mutation dès qu’on croque une pousse de soja . Dur dur pour les végétariens...

Mapping Mars with Open Planetary Data | MapBox

►http://mapbox.com/blog/2012-08-26-mapping-mars
Inspired by the Mars Curiosity rover, I set out to map Mars using all open source tools (like QGIS and TileMill) and open data. The results of these tools and awesome data are stunning. The first shows Mars as “the red planet,” and the second map uses a more divergent color ramp to show Mars’ topographical variation.
The Red PlanetYou can explore Mars for yourself on the Mars open data mapping website I created. I’ll be updating it as I create new maps using awesome planetary open data.
Mapping MarsMy first step along the way was to install the USGS’s Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers ISIS, a software library that makes it pretty convenient to obtain planetary DEM data in the ISIS 3 cube format, which GDAL supports. Thanks to USGS’ great documentation, it was easy to get started with ISIS.
My next step was to use GDAL to generate the hillshades, color relief, and slope shading. I took advantage of the great guides we have for working with terrain data that we have in our Tilemill Docs section. To get a better idea about what my process looked like, check out the scripts here.
The last step was to take the finished GeoTiffs into Tilemill to style them using the great new compositing features that Mapnik has.

Satellite Photos of Iran Doubted | Consortiumnews
http://consortiumnews.com/2012/03/12/satellite-photos-of-iran-doubtedNews stories about satellite photographs suggesting efforts by Iran to “sanitize” a military site that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said may have been used to test nuclear weapons have added yet another layer to widely held suspicion that Iran must indeed be hiding a covert nuclear weapons program.
But the story is suspect, in part because it is based on evidence that could only be ambiguous, at best. The claim does not reflect U.S. intelligence, and a prominent think tank that has published satellite photography related to past controversies surrounding Iran’s nuclear program has not found any photographs supporting it.

How the ‘NYT’ swallowed the #Stuxnet worm
http://mondoweiss.net/2011/02/how-the-nyt-swallowed-the-stuxnet-worm.htmlThe #New_York_Times article is deliberately misleading, excluding publicly-available evidence that casts doubts on the facts presented within it. Chiefly it has excluded the likelihood that the Stuxnet operation was a failed or only minimally-successful experiment that did next to nothing in terms of setting back #Iran's nuclear program

Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility recovered quickly from #Stuxnet cyberattack
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/15/AR2011021505395.htmlrien de fou (ouf) mais quelques détails inédits:
In a six-month period between late 2009 and last spring, U.N. officials watched in amazement as Iran dismantled more than 10 percent of the Natanz plant’s 9,000 centrifuge machines used to enrich uranium. Then, just as remarkably, hundreds of new machines arrived at the plant to replace the ones that were lost.
