I agree SW. When I read his family had fled before him, I formed the opinion that this guy really is on the lam from the Mullah's.
I sure hope that this is a true story and it yields valuable intel.

It'd be kind of fun to Photoshop an image of this guy poolside at a Maryland "safe house" with some babes frolicking nearby. I do so love the sound of apoplectic mullahs.

That makes me believe that there is another reason he wanted to leave. And that's generating some very wild speculation in my head.
Mine, too. I said this on another thread, but anyone who thinks the President is a lame duck does so at his peril. Now, lets just make sure this guy doesn't defect back and get himself killed like last time.

Of course we want him. When we have him, we can break and control him.

I'm sure Mossad had some role to play.

Why would this be public information?

Correct. But why would that be, I wonder?
Why cash out on such a goldmine. He'd easily be our highest placed source in the country, and a rare gem at that. How many deputy defense ministers are on the U.S. payroll at CIA? Especially from a threat nation like Iran? That would be one of the crown jewels of U.S. human intelligence. Why pawn it?
There's really only a handful of reasons for doing so, assuming that this is fact a defection, and that his cover wasn't blown.

Clearly the reservation made for him at the luxurious Ceylan Hotel was made to mislead. Why would a guy himself mislead authorities and go to a different hotel so he could get abducted? It's obvious that it was to get the Iranians off his back so he could meet his contact at the cheap hotel, who took him to safety.
To: MNJohnnie
No it is common. Many agents of the Iranian government have defected to the US.

Is it, or speculation at this point?

My first reaction is he'll give up all the nuke sites, we'll use his intel as the reason to bomb, it gets approved by Congress, we bomb and nothing is found. Bush gets impeached, as does Cheney, and we have president Pelosi.
Seriously, that's how AchImaNutjob thinks.

And I sure don't begrudge help from Israel... It just spins much internationally if its a defection to the U.S. instead of a kidnapping by Israel.

Nice plan. Grab this guy and whisk him off to some unnamed third world country where he's 'debriefed' and then tell him he can 'defect' to America or we're going to turn him loose somewhere like France and spread the word that he's a defector.
