As well as Nukes Iran has been trying unsuccessfully to produce it's own internet crackpot. UN inspectors estimate it could take Iran up to 5 years to develop even a primative PirateNews. Still, by the looks of things early tests are impressive.

Also in the animal world . . . From the BBC translators, an editorial by Saleh Eskandari headlined "spying squirrels," published July 10 by the Iranian newspaper Resalat.

"A few weeks ago, 14 squirrels equipped with espionage systems of foreign intelligence services were captured by [Iranian] intelligence forces along the country's borders. These trained squirrels, each of which weighed just over 700 grams, were released on the borders of the country for intelligence and espionage purposes. According to the announcement made by Iranian intelligence officials, alert police officials caught these squirrels before they could carry out any task.

"Fixing GPS devices, bugging instruments and advanced cameras in the bodies of trained animals like squirrels, mice, hamsters, etc, are among modern methods of collecting intelligence. Given the fast speed and the special physical features of these animals, they provide special capabilities for spying operations. Once the animals return to their place of origin, the intelligence gathered by them is then offloaded. . . ."

Always thought there was something squirrelly about those folks.

Fortunately it seems Morocco Mole escaped detection.

I dunno what's dumber, this guy writing about it, or our intel folk actually having tried shit like that, and more than once.

Not a joke, the spyguys have a fake dragonfly, and a fake catfish, and have indeed done some of the downright kookiest shit you could imagine, especially via Darpa.

It's really not too far of a step from bomb-wired dogs and mine hunting dolphins, so I wouldn't put it past em - they're all fekkin nuts.

It cannot be said enough, those who do not learn from history, are doomed to endlessly repeat it
