Congress approves $300 million for covert Iran offensive?
I was alarmed to read Alexander Cockburn's story (at http://www.counterpunch.org/andrew05022008.html ) that President Bush signed a secret finding, six weeks ago, authorizing a covert offensive against the Iranian regime. He also claims that Congress has approved $300 million in funding for the program. However, I have no idea where he got this information, so I'm not sure how much credence to give it. I would love to read what Glenn thinks about this. If true, it's a very disturbing story that obviously deserves a lot more attention in the press.
