IAEA playing a forged game?

[Skybird]

Is the whole Western pressure on Iran concenring it's nuclear program only a fake show? Is the West's decision to let it happen already a reality? Are the offers of economical gifts only the paying of a protection money, then?a

My quick translation:

Chris Charlier was leading the team that examined Iran's nuclear program at location. Mohammad Al-Baradei has fired him out of that job now, after pressure from Iran. The IAEA has tried to prevent the publication of this article.

When Chris Charlier was arriving in Teheran in April this years, the usual welcome-party already was waiting for him. It's the same like with every of his 20 earlier visits in Teheran. "Wherever we go, whatever we do, they always were behind us,they monitored us wirth video cameras, they recorded each of our words, they did not leave us out of sight for just a second. How the hell should you work that way?" says the 64 year old Belgian. He is chief of the 16 inspectors that examine Iran's nuclear program by order of the IAEA.

It's the first time that an inspector by revealing his own identity is speaking about the conditions under which under which the nuclear inspectors try to shed light onto the dark of Iran's nuclear program. that has a reason. In April, he practically lost his job. Responsible for that is his former boss, the director of the IAEA, Al-Baradei. when Baraei went to Teheran in April this year, his Iranian opposite, chief negotiator Ali Larijani, ultimately demanded Charlier's withdrawal.

And Baradei followed that demand very quickly. since 2003 charlier had made himself many enemies in Teheran. "I am no politician, I am technician", he says. "And as a technician I am only interested in one thing: is Iran'S nuclear program a civial or a military one." What he had found during his inspections, he said, were very clear and definite. "I think that they are hiding a nuclear program, and their true interests. It is very likely that Teheran is doing things in the nuclear sector on which the West until today has not even a hint", he answers the question of wether Teheran is maintaining a military nuclear program or not.

In innumerable remarks and reports charlier has recorded the conslusion sof the inspections, has documented the tricks and deceptions that Iranians are trying, and has collected the parts of the puzzle that a colleague oif him in Vienna leads to only one conclusion: "But of course Teheran is building the bomb. And Charlier has collected all parts of the puzzle. For that, he now pays the price." Baradei has sacrifieced Charlier, and he now may count peanuts in an office in Vienna until he is pensioned. the reason: in discussions with Baradei charlier always has rejected to close the nuclear file on the Iranian nuclear program, and has rejected to clean them of the accusation to build a bomb by doing so.
During the interview charlier cinfirms what diplomats in Vienna only tell in secret: during his last visit in Teheran Baradei not only agree to the firing of charlier, he also accpeted to reject him any further access to the IAEA's nuclear files and information on Iran. This was demanded by Ali Larijani, who is the closest and most trusted aide to Ali Chamenei, who is the religious leader in Iran.

End of article



I want to ask Mr. Baradei what motivates him to follow Iranian demands so easily, why he fires his most effective and critical inspector who did his job very well, why he wants to close the file on Iran's nuclear program, and if there may be a hidden agenda that Iran shall be allowed to follow it's plans for a nuclear bomb while deceiving the Western public of this fact at the same time.
