Via Weekly Standard: Ahead of Deal, Top Intel Organization Plays Down Iran’s Sponsorship of Terrorism

Sunday night, Stephen Hayes noted (via Twitter) a Times of Israel article that the 2015 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Communities delivered annually by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to a Senate committee had “removed Iran and Hezbollah from its list of terrorism threats” after having been included in prior years.

    Maybe they needed to make room for Conservative and Tea Party organizations.
