Off With Their Heads!
From the Associated Press: U.S. intelligence and foreign allies have growing evidence that wanted terrorists have been residing in Iran despite repeated American warnings to Tehran not to harbor them.
The evidence, which stretches over several years, includes communications by a fugitive mastermind of the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing and the capture of a Saudi militant who appeared in a video in which Osama bin Laden confirmed he ordered the Sept. 11 attacks, according to U.S. and foreign officials.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because much of the evidence remains classified.
There is, of course, no mention of past U.S. intelligence failures. Are these intelligence findings incorrect? We certainly don't know, but you'd think a qualified reporter might mention that intelligence from anonymous sources regarding the harboring of terrorists should be taken with a bit of skepticism. Maybe we missed the sarcasm?
