Gordon Prather, for instance, has clarified, "For the 2007 NIE on Iran, according to Scott Ritter, former Marine intelligence officer, UN inspector in Iraq, and author of Target Iran: The Truth About the White House's Plans for Regime Change -- our intelligence community has been working closely with the IAEA inspectors in Iran.

After thousands of man hours of go anywhere see anything inspections, at sites "declared" by the Iranians and at others, some military, suggested by our intelligence community, ElBaradei has declared there is "no indication" that Iran has a nuclear weapons program."

Physicist James Gordon Prather has served as a policy implementing official for national security related technical matters in the Federal Energy Agency, the Energy Research and Development Administration, the Department of Energy, the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Department of the Army.

Comment: This diagnosis is definitely not taken seriously enough, and if you have nevered suffered the emotional triggers, and never suffered the pain and anxiety, you have no idea what a battle it is, and it isn't something you can easily fix like a cut or a blister, it is something that you can't control, and the worst part about it, is that once you do go for help, you are stigmatized for life as being the one they point the finger at as the one with the problem, so many people never speak up and reach out. And the minute you begin to heal and move forward and life gets a bit better and symptoms finally begin to subside, it gets written off as you never really had it to begin with. It is an unfortunate truth, an unfortunate lesson, and a very real problem.-skd500
