Iran: Case cracked wide open

Hot Air reports:


From the Times Online:

During the briefing, the officer said that one of the six Iranians detained in January in the northern city of Irbil was the operational commander of the Quds Brigade, a unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards that trains and equips Shia militants abroad. He was identified as Mohsin Chizari, who was apprehended after slipping back into Iraq after a ten-month absence, the officer said.

The Iranians were caught trying to flush documents down a lavatory, the American officer said. They had also tried to change their appearance because bags of their hair were found during the raid, he added.
This is huge. And more:
The left naturally dismisses all this as preposterous, a redux of BUSH’S LIES about weapons of mass destruction. None other than Greg Mitchell wrote a piece for E&P yesterday mocking the militantly pro-war New York Times for publishing an article about the IEDs by Michael Gordon, the same reporter responsible for some of the paper’s WMD reporting in 2003. “And it begins,” declare DUers about this morning’s briefing, lamenting the fact that they must now in good conscience trust Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s word more than their own government’s.
