http://www.truthout.org/article/preparing-battlefield

Seymour Hersh of The New Yorker: "Late last year, Congress agreed to a request
from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against
Iran, according to current and former military, intelligence, and congressional
sources. These operations, for which the President sought up to four hundred
million dollars, were described in a Presidential Finding signed by Bush, and
are designed to destabilize the country's religious leadership."
