Here is the complete interview that Leslie Stahl conducted with former Mossad Chief in Tel Aviv.

Unfortunately some of the title has been truncated the last word is supposed to be "threat."

As you can see the complete interview is less about selective editing than other posters have suggested in the thread I created about the preview of the interview.

Do I agree with everything he has said? No. But he is right in that Iran with a nuclear weapons capability is a game changer in the middle east. It would be much preferable that they do not have it. I think however that it is also right that it is premature given everything we know to be talking about using an aerial strike on Iran.

However, like him (because of what I've read in the Economist and the CSMonitor)

As for our ability to influence Iran to refrain from seriously embark on a weapons program. Events in the past century probably have really hindered the U.S.A.'s ability to be trusted by the Iranian regime. However, if as Mr. Dagan asserts there is still time to try non-violent methods then I believe that it is what should be done, in the near future.
