#8  Keep in mind, we shouldn't believe wild rumors just because it's the sort of thing we'd like to think actually happened.

Neither should we dismiss them just because our worst enemies would dearly love us to.

#5  Although the linked article makes many good points it overlooks the possibility that this was a "master class" sort of instructional and cross-training session. A technology transfer "laboratory seminar" would certainly explain the large number of participants. There is also the less likely—but not entirely remote—possibility that the explosion was the result of sabotage instead of carelessness. Still, the old addage applies:

Do not attribute to conspiracy that which can be explained by sheer stupidity.

#4  OK, Let's see......Dozens of Iranian engineers dead, 15 Syrian Officers dead, July 23rd chemical weapons cover story, followed by a No. Korean Nuclear shipment to Syria and an Israeli raid in September.

Ready.....Speculate!

These guys were trying to test a dirty nuke warhead that went bad and killed everyone with radiation. The NoK's were delivering the goods to go into full production.

#3  The article fails to realize that Allan would protect his faithful whom, I'm sure had just prayed for the successful killing of a million joos. Why take safety precautions, infidel ?

#2  I see most stories like this through a veil of suspicion anyway. Unless there is a smoking crater, I usually don't really believe it.
