#1 Oooh! A secret military unit! How scarrrry! And sooo secret that they issue a press release! Wowsers!

Sheesh, wotta bunch. Y'know, I used to work with two Iranian programmers. They were intelligent. I guess the Iranian brain-drain was a total success.

#2 I worked with two Iranian programmers...they pulled my old listings out of the trash and used the code instead of writing their own.

True socialists.

#3 It matters who pays the Praetorian Guard. If these boys are under RG loyal to the Pres, and the top Mullahs and he get into contention, they could instantly become assassins.

I also gather that Khamenei is coming up for renewal of his "living god" status, and it is 50/50 whether he will be retained. Some mumblings suggest that the Pres would like to install his cult's guru to be the next living god, which would certainly clarify things.
