Forgotten fact on Iran: They have nuclear technology. We sold it to them.
The Nation brings a little forgotten fact back to memory this week.

The Ford Administration approved the sale of up to eight nuclear reactors with fuel to Iran. In 1976 it approved the sale of lasers believed to be capable to enriching uranium.

The Washington Post reported that an innitially hesitant President Ford was assured by his advisors that Iran was only interested in peaceful uses of nuclear energy.

Ford's Defense Secretary was Donald Rumsfeld, his Chief of Staff was Dick Cheney and his man in charge of nonproliferation efforts in the Arms Control and Disarmarment Agency was Paul Wolfowitz.
