Actual "Expert" vs. Pundits

The Western political-media establishment is busy ginning up baseless fear again over Iran's nuclear program, so pay absolutely no attention to this little gem of independent thought from Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency:

I am dismayed by the allegations of some Member States, which have been fed to the media, that information has been withheld from the Board. These allegations are politically motivated and totally baseless. Such attempts to influence the work of the Secretariat and undermine its independence and objectivity are in violation of Article VII.F. of the IAEA Statute and should cease forthwith.

Doesn't he know Iran is eeeeeeevil?

Thankfully, here's Glenn Greenwald on MSNBC, characteristically cutting through the pundit-generated bullshit like a hot knife through butter. But I was shocked to discover none other than Arianna Huffington stoking fear about Iran. For shame, Huff.
