Truth or Laying the Basis for Attacking Iran?

This article is a good example of the difficulty one faces with the current administration. Unnamed "officials" pass the word that Iran is aiding Al Qaeda in Iraq, etc. etc. This could be one of two things. It could be the truth. Or it could it be Dick Cheney's minions passing unvetted intel to the unsuspecting press in order to lay the foundation for an attack on Iran. The only problem is that we (unsuspecting public) have no way of knowing the truth. This is the problem of the boy crying wolf, next time he cries wolf we don't know if he is really crying wolf, or just faking it again. I have my suspicions....
