This week we present Between The Lines' summary of under-reported news stories and:
 Neoconservatives Attack Intelligence Finding on Iran Nuclear Weapons Interview with Dr. Bahram Rajaee, senior policy consultant, with the National Iranian American Council, conducted by Scott Harris  But, according to a report by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, it was Vice President Dick Cheney and his aides who were trying to alter, and then delay release of the NIE report on Iran. While Iran denies ever having a covert nuclear weapons program -- maintaining their research is designed for civilian electricity production only -- Israeli officials believe Iran's nuclear weapons operation was suspended in 2003, but resumed in 2005. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Dr. Bahram Rajaee, senior policy consultant with the National Iranian American Council. He examines the possible effect the U.S. intelligence estimate may have on President Bush's policy toward Tehran in his last year in office. Contact the National Iranian American Council at (202) 386-6325 or visit their website at www. NIACouncil.org Related links:
Bush's Proposed Bailoutfor U.S. Mortgage Meltdown a "Katrina-type" Response Interview with economist Max Wolff, conducted by Scott Harris 
President Bush's Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has proposed a voluntary bailout plan called the Hope Now Alliance, which critics charge is structured more to protect investor losses than homeowners in trouble. The plan, which would freeze interest rates for five years on a limited number of teaser subprime loans, will prevent the participation of mortgage holders with good credit. On Dec. 10 Rev. Jesse Jackson attempted to bring attention to the unfolding financial meltdown by holding a protest on Wall Street. Rev. Jackson and his allies allege that Wall Street banks and mortgage lenders are engaging in predatory lending practices and targeting the black community and ethnic minorities. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with economist Max Wolff, who takes a critical look at the deepening U.S. subprime mortgage crisis and President Bush's voluntary bailout plan. Read Max Wolff's commentaries online at www.huffingtonpost.com and www.globalmacroscope.com. Related links:
Increase in Teen Pregnancies Could be Linked to "Abstinence Only" Sex Education Funding Interview with David Landry, researcher at the Alan Guttmacher Institute in New York, conducted by Melinda Tuhus  The Bush administration came under attack by some groups working on reproductive health issues, for diverting funds from comprehensive sex education to abstinence programs. In recent years, the federal government has spent more than $1 billion on abstinence-only sex education programs, which studies have found do not reduce the number of teen pregnancies or sexually transmitted infections. Between The Lines' Melinda Tuhus spoke with David Landry, a researcher with the Alan Guttmacher Institute in New York, which studies sexual and reproductive health issues. While he says it's too early to know if this increase is a trend, recent factors have come into play that make such a negative trend more likely. Contact the Alan Guttmacher Institute by calling (212) 248-1111 or visit the group's website at www.guttmacher.org
