#2 News Update (not really) >> All of the UN Inspectors who filed the report have suddenly died. Initial reports indicate that all of their skulls were bashed in and the bodies were stabbed numerous times.

When questioned, Iranian doctors stated that they were reasonably sure that the deaths were caused when the inspectors leaned too far back in their chairs while playing poker in their rooms. The blood stains and the stabs wounds are still under investigation. Mosquitos have been sited as a possible cause.

In other unrelated news, the Canadian Embassy was bombarded with calls from an Iranian hospital stating that Canada may have lost some more citizens to "natural causes". Stay tuned for details....

#3 Not proof that Iran had done the enriching itself? Do we care who is enriching the stuff? Doesn't matter if they bought it, stole it, or made it themselves. They've got it and that's a problem.

I wonder if the Isreali airforce will go over Iraqi, Saudi or Turkish airspace on their journey.

#4 This just in:
The head of the U.N.'s energy agency has denied reports that inspectors found enriched uranium in samples taken recently in Iran, calling it "pure speculation at this stage." Mohamed ElBaradei, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told The Associated Press, "there's a lot of analysis we need to discuss ... with Iran." "We are not in any way ready to come up with a conclusion on that issue before we discuss all the results with the Iranian authorities."

Meaning that his inspectors found something and now he's scurrying to cover it up.
