Logic would dictate that you don't give credibility to a career liar.

I agree for the most part but you have to admit the timing of this one is a little suspect.. It's not like Iran would come out and openly admit to anything if they did indeed try an assassination attempt, but at the end of the day what would they benefit from such a move is the important question here, and the answer is just about nothing and it would only be bad for them.
As for ex cia agents you do have to take what they say with a grain of salt too. Some of them are ethical human beings as the rest of us and feel compelled to inform the public of something they believe is wrong. However we must remember that even high level cia operatives are not informed of the whole story, often something they would have to piece something together on their own, which leaves huge gaps for error. Secondly there are also ex ops who want to sell a lot of books and retire comfortably. Those books sell well whether they are true or fabricated so if this person has a book coming out soon it would explain a lot.
