Frum Accuses Canadian Islamic Congress of Supporting Iranian Nuclear Bombs

Mr "Axis of Evil" David Frum, former Canadian, Bush speechwriter and unapologetic neocon, just can't seem to stop lying.

Over at the supposedly credible National Review, Frum claims that the Canadian Islamic Congress supports Iran producing a nuclear bomb:

Meanwhile speaking of friends, it's interesting to note that the Iranian mullahs still have some. The Canadian Islamic Congress, Canada's most visible Muslim organization, has just congratulated the mullahs on their progress toward a nuclear bomb.

He completely distorted the CIC's actual statement:

With only 164 centrifuges operating (thousands would be needed to create weapons-grade fuel) the CIC says Iran should be given a reasonable and respectful chance to develop nuclear energy sources "at a level that would not raise even an eyebrow in any Western or industrially developed nation" and that "Canada, with its expertise in civilian nuclear technology, could provide valuable assistance at this stage."

The CIC called American opposition to any nuclear capability for Iran "counterproductive and provocative," saying fears by the U.S., Israel, and their allies that Iran wants only to produce nuclear weapons "are scientifically unfounded."

His mother, Barbara, must be rolling over in her grave.
