The story has been vouched for as “correct”. I think the stink should be reserved for an incorrect story. Do you spent equal time posting against correct BBC news items?
Perhaps using a correct story from iran encourages further correct news stories.
Also, posting such a story from Iran can be seen as a slap in the face to the US news outlets that forbid us from posting excepts from the websites. Do us a favor and email them this thread.....

In addition to all of the above, do not post articles written by Maralyn Lois Polak per her copyright complaint. Her column usually appears on WorldNetDaily.
Also, do not post images from Corbis or Getty.
All material from the Associated Press must be excerpted regardless of source (very brief excerpts).
It's much more likely that the intent was "a slap in the face to the US." Period. I don't subscribe to the leftist philosophy that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" -- most particularly in the case of Iran state-run media. Iran is a serious and committed enemy of all Americans, whether some of those Americans choose to realize it or not.
Otherwise, please spare me the long nonsense lists illustrating whatever obscure point you might be trying to make -- they're nothing more than digital clutter.
