On Tuesday’s program we reported the International Atomic Energy Agency is accusing congressional Democrats of drafting a misleading and erroneous report on Iran’s nuclear program. In fact, the IAEA’s criticism has been directed at congressional Republicans. Last year, on Sept. 12, 2006, the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog agency sent a letter to Republican Congressman Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, who at the time chaired the House Intelligence Committee. The letter claimed Hoekstra's report on Iran contained serious distortions of the IAEA’s own findings on Iran’s nuclear activity. Democratic Congressman Rush Holt of New Jersey did not have a role in drafting the congressional report and was publicly critical of its findings. We inaccurately described Congressman Holt’s role on Tuesday.
