The Blogfather and the Spy

A central figure in what is supposed to be a vast international conspiracy to overthrow the Iranian regime has been officially invisible until now. The information he provided has been key to the confabulations presented in the Stalinesque show-trials in Tehran.

An American scholar, a British embassy employee, a prominent economist, and leading members of former Iranian governments have been given long jail sentences. A young French researcher now languishes under house arrest in her country's Tehran embassy, and Newsweek correspondent Maziar Bahari passed four grueling months, mostly in solitary confinement, before finally he was released. All because of their alleged roles in the surreal narrative presented by the regime. Yet the key witness is described by the lead prosecutor only as "this arrested spy, whose name we do not mention out of security considerations."

I warned you about Hoder yrs ago. You wrote him off as insignificant.

Thanks you if you did, though I do not remember. Not to deny you but truly, he has no place in my memory banks.

There are so many in my new lists of bad guys that Hoder types were long forgotten till now.

Cheers,
