Thank you very much, CallMeJoe.
Asgari founded Hizbullah? I didn't know that. Wonder where he is?
Most interesting links. Thanks.

Thanks Joe. The Asqhari story is going to be quite interesting as it unfolds. I hope he is well protected.
Will be one to watch play out... could be a big story in the making if we get a better picture of how far along Iran is with their nuclear weapons program. In the first Memri piece Hamid Reza Zakiri's statement, "I went to North Korea twice, as our relations with it are special,” should give some indication Iran is probably further along than the general belief here has been.
The Hizballah angle is possibly quite scary.

Former Iranian Defense Official Talks to Western Intelligence
Washington Post ^ | March 8, 2007 | Dafna Linzer
Posted on 03/07/2007 8:33:56 PM PST by bnelson44
A former Iranian deputy defense minister who once commanded the Revolutionary Guard has left his country and is cooperating with Western intelligence agencies, providing information on Hezbollah and Iran's ties to the organization, according to a senior U.S. official.
Ali Rez Asgari disappeared last month during a visit to Turkey. Iranian officials suggested yesterday that he may have been kidnapped by Israel or the United States. The U.S. official said Asgari is willingly cooperating. He did not divulge Asgari's whereabouts or specify who is questioning him, but made clear that the information Asgari is offering is fully available to U.S. intelligence.
Asgari served in the Iranian government until early 2005 under then-President Mohammad Khatami. Asgari's background suggests that he would have deep knowledge of Iran's national security infrastructure, conventional weapons arsenal and ties to Hezbollah in south Lebanon. Iranian officials said he was not involved in the country's nuclear program, and the senior U.S. official said Asgari is not being questioned about it. Former officers with Israel's Mossad spy agency said yesterday that Asgari had been instrumental in the founding of Hezbollah in the 1980s, around the time of the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut.
