Secret updates to White House challenge European and Israeli assessments
By Mark Hosenball | Newsweek Web Exclusive

Report: Barak says Iran is not existential threat to Israel
Defense Minister Ehud Barak was quoted on Thursday as saying he does not view Iran as a threat to Israel's existence, a view that would seem to depart from Israeli statements of the recent past.

Why No Dancing in the Streets?
The status of the Iranian alleged program to develop "a nuclear bomb" has not changed since their formal National Intelligence Estimate of 2007. That NIE stated - with "high confidence" - that Iran "halted", in the fall of 2003, whatever program it was alleged to have had, and stated - with "moderate confidence" - that Iran had made no attempt to resurrect it. So, why isn't there mucho dancing in the streets; here and around the world?
