Fact checking Lieberman-Kyle
Gareth Porter: "The Lieberman-Kyle amendment has just passed the Senate overwhelmingly after two sections were removed to satisfy Democrats that it will not serve as a backdoor authorization for war against Iran, using U.S. forces operating in Iran. Even after that compromise, it remains a poison chalice, because it endorses a set of 'findings' that are fundamentally false and which are being used by the administration to lay the groundwork for a more aggressive policy toward Iran."
