running for Congress in the 36th District of California:

 

STOP THE BUNKER BUSTER-TYPE SIMULATION JUNE 2ND IN NEVADA

In a recent issue of the New Yorker magazine, investigative journalist Seymour

Hersh reported teams of American combat troops are being sent into Iran under

cover to collect information on military targets, such as underground storage

bunkers. The decision to attack may already have been made.

 

Meanwhile, the Department of Energy is preparing for a 700-ton conventional

bomb detonation ( " Divine Strake " ) on June 2, 2006, on the Western Shoshone

Native American reservation (which the tribe strongly opposes) in Nevada, as a

preliminary for the use of actual nuclear weapons against Iran. If launched, a

nuclear " bunker buster " would spew harmful radiation, potentially killing

thousands of innocent people.

 

The Bush administration seems bent on destabilizing the globe. It behooves

every member of Congress to take a strong stand against a pre-emptive strike on

Iran. Bullying Iran, talking about " regime change " , and simulating large-scale

explosions in the Nevada desert will only undermine diplomatic efforts.

Winograd's opponent, Jane Harman, remains non-committal on the subject of US

air strikes against Iran.

 

American intelligence agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency

(I.A.E.A.), agree Iran ultimately wants to produce nuclear weapons. But

intelligence officials and the I.A.E.A disagree on how long it would take for

Iran to become a nuclear power. Critics of the Bush administration argue Iran is

several years away from developing a nuclear weapon.

 

" The United States has adopted a nuclear double standard, " says Winograd,

pointing out that the Bush administration wants to build 125 new nuclear bombs

each year. Says Winograd, " If we really want to ensure peace and tranquility for

our children and our children's children, if we really want to discourage Iran

from pursuing nuclear weapons, then we should honor our commitment to the

Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, denounce the first use of nuclear weapons and

model for the world our commitment to reducing our nuclear arsenal. "

 

Winograd also expresses concerns about the military's circumvention of

Congress's authority to declare war. " By sending scouts into Iran to collect

data on military targets, the Bush administration is preparing for war and

undermining the constitutional powers of Congress. Every lawmaker who sits on

the House and Senate Intelligence Committees should denounce the Bush

administration for jeopardizing our national security. "

 

Winograd is challenging incumbent Congresswoman Jane Harman in the Democratic

Party Primary, June 6th. During the campaign, Winograd has criticized Harman, a

member of the House Intelligence Committee, for not adequately scrutinizing

pre-war intelligence analysts' objections to the invasion of Iraq.

" I will vote to cut funding for the Iraq war and bring the troops home, " vows

Winograd. " I will reject the Bush doctrine of pre-emptive war and engage the

nation in redefining the meaning of security. "
