I've Been Thinking:

Iran recently arrested 14 spies.
There was hardly a news blip reporting the story.

They were captured near the border.
They were outfitted with high-tech hardware listening and filming devices.
They were squirrels.

Why didn't the Western press run with this great story?
After all, it was reported by the INRA (Islamic Republic News Agency), the official arm of the Iranian government.

The most ludicrous part of the whole story is that some people believe it is true. They believe a decision was made to waste money by attempting to train these rabid rodents in the art of high tech surveillance.
They believe it because in the Muslim world, conspiracies can mean everything. They believe that the United States conspired to corrupt the rodents in order to invade Iran.

Do we laugh or do we cry?
