American made hi-tech goods are being used by Iran controlled companies to produce the deadly roadside bombs used by terrorists in Iraq, according to the US government.

According to the Miami Herald, the 13-count indictment was handed down by the Federal Government on Wednesday alleging 16 foreigners and overseas businesses had sold hi-tech "dual use" goods to businesses that were actually "fronts to Iran". The companies were doing "business" building roadside bombs, or IED's.

Roadside bombs, or IED's, have killed 1722 troops since the US invaded Iraq in March 2003.

"The 16 foreign defendants were charged with conspiracy and violations involving the Iran Trade Embargo, the Iranian Transactions Regulations, the Export Administration Regulations and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

What was included on the list of violations?

Wonder how much we'll hear about this story today?

As for the event sponsored by a coalition of American Jewish Organizations, to dis-invite Palin because Clinton pulled a pout and pulled out is rather disengenuous. The group’s action of disinviting Palin and blaming the “controversy” on her instead of Clinton seems rather “cut off your nose to spite your face”.

Maybe they should put some lipstick on that nose.

Actually that was my first response as well, BUT...I think she should start her own rally in front of the Grand Hyatt (Penny Pritzker, Obama’s campaign finance chair, is heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune) on Thursday night (September 25) where there will be an “interfaith dinner” with Iranian President Ahmadinejad.
