NYTimes: Iran has enough Uranium to build the bomb

This is important: The New York Times is reporting Iran has a third more uranium than previous thought, and according to UN weapons inspectors, enough to build an atomic bomb.

To build a bomb the Iranians would need, "added purification" (no idea what that means yet).  Evidently, UN weapons inspectors only run independent checks on Iran's program once a year. The lack of more consistent independent checks was just disclosed this week and surprised independent nuclear weapons experts who, according to the Times article, criticized the lack of serious inspections.
