D6HW5 Types of Evidence

Most of the evidence I'll have access to in terms of my project will be secondhand evidence. I'm not in Iran, I'm not a member of the IAEA, I'm not a politician, I have no direct role in the Iran situation myself as of yet. I likely could if it goes south but that dosn't really help me out here. As such I must rely on secondhand knowledge: books, websites, magazine and journal articles, and so on. As I've been saying all along and as previous reading assignments have stated I'll just have to read critically and try and find multiple sources to back up my information. The only real firsthand evidence I'll have is interviews with various people. However it should be pointed out that some of these people will themselves be reliant upon secondhand information for their knowledge of the situation.
