[Bahbah]

As someone who's been accused of being a member of the Mossad

That is high praise.

[nuconvert]

Something to do with the 38 IAEA inspectors being barred?

[El Sordo]

It was the Joooooooos!

[popdonnelly]

Not when it comes from an Arab nut on another message board.

[indthkr]

Iran nukes ping for later.......

[Just sayin]

Interesting point, I had forgotten about that tidbit. Maybe he was trying to pass them intelligence and bust Iran out? Imagonnajihad has some 'splainin ta do....

[alecqss]

Kind of reminds me the fate of an artillery expert who was working for Saddam...

[MHGinTN]

Would this guy have been so vital to development that his death could toss the Iranians the Russian's way for enriched Uranium?

[null and void]

Bull!

[RetiredArmy]

Let me guess, Massaud (I know, misspelled)?

[Phsstpok]

I know more Iranians (Persians) than most people because my wife is a Baha'i and many in that community, Baha'i or not, are associated with Persia/Iran. I can tell you from personal knowledge that "Iranians" aren't bad guys. By the same token the bad guys have taken control of Iran and the majority of the population who disagrees with them are being held hostage.

I have a feeling this is someone who was willing to go along just so far but that he refused an order to do something immoral and paid the ultimate price for that act of courage.

I think that we need to start compiling a list of martyrs to human civilization from this and other Jihadi countries. We need to count on these brave souls because it's obvious that our own Congress isn't up to the task.

[alecqss]

What? That it reminds me?!

[Bahbah]

Oops, didn't realize that. Pardon.

[piasa]

Maybe he didn't die... maybe he took the Nauru challenge and the Mullah's can't find him :

* Operation Weasel : TOKYO -The United States and at least 10 other countries helped arrange the defections of up to 20 top North Korean officials including key nuclear scientists in an operation that began in October, according to an Australian newspaper. The Weekend Australian reported that a man it identified as the "father" of the North Korean nuclear program, Kyong Won Ha, was among the defectors and is providing intelligence information to Western officials. Kyong and the other officials had escaped to China and went on to other countries with the help of consulates and embassies, the newspaper reported. The United States helped set up, and pay for, an embassy in Beijing for the tiny Pacific Island of Nauru specifically to help move the defectors, though none eventually went to the embassy, the Australian said. Nauru, an 8-square-mile island in Melanesia northeast of Australia, was persuaded to cooperate in part because of a promise that the U.S. would help it avoid financial sanctions being considered for the nation as a "non-cooperative country." The Chinese route for defections from North Korea has become an increasingly sensitive issue. China, an ally of North Korea, does not accept Koreans who cross the shallow river border as refugees, and has forcibly returned many people.-------- "20 officials defect from North Korea," By Doug Struck, WASHINGTON POST, Posted on Mon, Apr. 21, 2003 via Contra Costa Times, April 22, 2003

This thread is making me thirsty...

...a professor at the university of Shiraz

That is... you could say this is a result of Bush's "surge" plan that the democrats, hagel, voinovish, warner and all are backing.

Gerald Bull.

[alecqss]

Sorry... my fault ;-)

[popdonnelly]

Oh, no apologies necessary. I thought the guy was funny.

[BluH2o]

a professor at the university of Shiraz ...

A class @ Shiraz shouldn't have such dire consequences.

[null and void]

Your fault??? Are you kidding? It was the perfect set-up!

I could wait years for the next opportunity that good!
