• An Argentine judge ordered international arrest warrants yesterday for the former Iranian president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and eight others over the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires in which 85 died. The Iranian government has been accused of masterminding the attack.

Fascinating bit of info to put at the end of an Iranian "sex scandal."

One would expect this to be headlines in international news.

Detectives examining that film tracked the woman down by reading the number on the electricity meter in the room.

Whoa! That's almost as disturbing as it is impressive.

Let's assume for a moment that she did it and isn't "innocent" of the claims. She's an actress, she would likely have known the consequences and seemingly was willingly involved in videotaping.

I can just see it now, the multiculturalists and radical feminists will be decrying the rule of law in Iran. Folks will scream it's just about sex.

They'll be attacking the method of punishment as a human rights abuse like they did for that jackass student Michael Fay who got caned in Singapore for vandalizing several cars.

And what will this mean? It'll be the West trying to shove its morality down the throat of Iran which is exactly what the Left claims is the reason behind the terrorist's grievance with America. Will they admit to such hypocrisy? Not a chance.

You would think that would warrant its own story. Instead it's a completely non-sequitur in a story about an actress's sex-tape.

Add that to the media bias and Bizarro World evidence piles.

I thought this was about Britney Spears and her lawsuit!

What do you think should happen?

[Mrs Ivan]

Yikes.

I can just see it now, the multiculturalists and radical feminists will be decrying the rule of law in Iran.

I would like to see the Council of Guardians dealt with in the manner of Mussolini and Ceausescu. That would be a close enough approximation to the rule of law in Iran.

I believe that on the tape in question, she removes her headscarf.

Be still, my heart!

[Elsie]

Whoa! That's almost as disturbing as it is impressive.

I thought the film was 'grainy'?

Stupid woman allows video. Boyfriend kills her to make it public.
