LONDON, England (CNN) -- Iran produced and experimented with polonium, a radioactive element that can be used in the chain reaction that produces a nuclear explosion, diplomats who have seen a status report on Iran's nuclear activity told CNN.

The 14-page report was requested by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) governors to assess Iran when the board next convenes March 8.

Within a few minutes we could make Iran a radioactive element.

Within a few minutes we could make Iran a radioactive element.

And that would be a great tragedy. As noted here:

"Now is precisely the time for Mr. Bush to show solidarity with the majority of Iranians who want greater freedom, just as Ronald Reagan spoke up for the people of Poland in the early 1980s. The only way to stop Iran's despotic regime from getting nuclear weapons is to help Iranians change the regime."

polonium

Wicked deadly stuff. A weapon of mass destruction all by itself. Very little will kill.

If the Iranians won't do it for themselves, how can the US ?

I think they're getting closer. Last week's sham elections now have the hardliners solidly in power, and already the regime has been talking of cracking down harder on the populace. Classic formula for a revolution.
