The Associated Press: CIA Chief: Syrian reactor had capacity to make 2 weapons a year

Title: The difference in two CIA provided photos Name: Mark Lincoln City: Houston State: Texas
The CIA released a slick presentation showing the top of the Korean reactor highlighted in red. They also showed the alleged Syrian reactor with exactly the same (distorted to fit via image manipulation) top of the Korean reactor with the explanation it was `Top of Syrian rector before concrete poured." The CIA also made the mistake of publishing the pre-PhotoShop picture with the same caption. In that case it is very clear that the "holes` are actually small canisters which do not go deep into the `reactor` and are not as evenly distributed as the `holes` in the North Korean reactor. In fact, the distribution is not the same. Moreover, the open space below those canisters is open. No reactor, no moderator, nothing but rebar. The fraud of the CIA in PhotoShoping the face of the North Korean reactor over the other picture is revealed (nine `cylinders" across the width of the `reactor` in the un-PhotoShopped picture as opposed to the nine in the original picture supplied by the CIA.
