FRONTLINE continues to kick ass...

These guys are inside Iran trying to get away with filming aleged nuclear facilities under the nose of the secret police. I wish this report was longer and provided more context, but the footage is really interesting. Best quote: "You can't talk here, they'll kill you." The obvious unasked question is why is nuclear energy so important to OPEC's second largest oil producer. The words "natural gas power plant" come to mind.

FRONTLINE/World and BBC reporter Paul Kenyon travels deep into Iran to investigate charges that Iran is secretly developing a nuclear bomb. With exclusive access to a U.N. inspection team, Kenyon visits Iran's most sensitive nuclear sites and reports on the escalating diplomatic tensions surrounding the discovery of the facilities.

Frontline shows what great reporting can be. If only there were more of it on television (and in the media, generally) today. Unfortunately, the commercial networks suffer from different motivations.
