Is Iran next?

Via SimianBrain, an article from the New Yorker magazine reports on plans by the administration to invade Iran:

One former high-level intelligence official told The New Yorker, "This is a war against terrorism, and Iraq is just one campaign. The Bush administration is looking at this as a huge war zone. Next, we're going to have the Iranian campaign."

Hersh reported that Bush has already "signed a series of top-secret findings and executive orders authorizing secret commando groups and other Special Forces units to conduct covert operations against suspected terrorist targets in as many as 10 nations in the Middle East and South Asia."

Defining these as military rather than intelligence operations, Hersh reported, will enable the Bush administration to evade legal restrictions imposed on the CIA's covert activities overseas.

CNN later reported that the Pentagon is criticizing this article as being full of inaccuracies, but the latest new reports that "Bush won't rule out action against Iran"
