Pigeons sit in a tree in Bucharest. Iranian security forces have arrested two suspected "spy pigeons" near the controversial Nantaz uranium enrichment facility, the reformist Etemad Melli newspaper has reported.

How would one go about waterboarding a pigeon?

Uh-Oh, the jig is up. I hear they are stool pigeons. At least they won’t sing.

Glad to see that pigeons are still used in warfare, they have a long history. I wonder when PETA will protest this horrible cruelty and humiliation of birds.

The mullahs are kooks, sure, but some of the Iranian op guys are doing their homework. The current trends in micro UAV research revolve around:

1. High persistence
2. “Perch and stare”
3. BioMimetics

Whatzat?

A small UAV that looks like a bird circles down, establishes an LZ that looks proper, and stops there and just observes —this is a lower power/high value task.

And it will just relay info onto another, bigger thing.

I think a hard target like a nuke installation in some denied area like Iran or NK would probably call for a rare, high-value piece of tech like this.

I really doubt these actual birds are one of those new UAV’s, though..!

Poor thing, just trying to build a nest with soda can pull tops and someone's littered floss. I feel bad for the chicks that had their innocent parent taken out, and left to the elements.

Was it caught by the Revolutionary Falcons of Allah Brigade?
