#4 Makes perfect sense if you're a little paranoid or have the ability to score PR points with the home crowd on the basis of spoon fed nonesensical BS. But hey, hypnotizing chickens is a virtue in some places. Add this to the Anglican apology list please. So sorry that about you being nutters and all mullah muhsta-boom.

#5 Doesn't MI6 have a counter-terrorism unit? I would assume they do.

#8 Top Iranian officials said Sunday they suspected British involvement in a double-bomb attack in the ethnic-Arab dominated city of Ahvaz,..

Are they really? And if it's somehow true, how does it feel to be on the receiving end for once?

#9 I really doubt a western intell service would be taking the risk involved in something like this (like undermining the whole WOT) for the sake of a minor explosion in a minority province on the periphery of Iran. I mean really. If the US or Brits really have a network in Iran, there are many much more valuable things they could be doing, Im sure.

#10 All together now:

The Iranians planted those bombs themselves so that they could blame coalition forces!

There, now. Doesn't that feel better? The sooner we decap the Guardian Council, the better off we'll all be. These sick f&*ks cannot die too soon.
