I've Been Thinking:

Reports are telling us that Iran helped the United States find Zarqawi.

The reports, saying that Iranian intel was used to find and then target Zarqawi, are circulating internationally.
For Iran, this is very bad PR.
How can the Iranians be seen as assisting the West, the infidels, in a battle against Islam?!

Iran had to make an official comment squelching the reports.
The official response from Teheran said that they were very happy that Zarqawi is dead - but they did not help.

Zarqawi regularly targeted Shiite religious centers and mosques and holy places.
Zarqawi assassinated Shiite religious leaders.
Zarqawi's death will not be mourned by Iran.
But the idea that Iran helped a non-believer kill a believer, ...
Possible? Certainly.
Probable? Maybe.
Iran will never admit to anything.
