UN Says Iran Has Enriched Uranium

I thought that this would be all over the news- it looks like Iran has been caught with weapons grade uranium by the UN no less- tonight on TV though it didn't get a mention and the BBC news website doesn't even list it anywhere on their front page; the top Middle East story is the Palestinian PM calling for more aid. In fact, the BBC doesn't even have the story on their Middle East page.

What's going on? Isn't this the sort of news that reporters are supposed to jump all over? I guess if it had been unconfirmed reports that George Bush personally tortured illegally detained foreign nationals, this would be shouted from the rooftops.

Isn't the news that we might have taken a big step forward towards war even noteworthy?
