Oh, this is rich. The Iranian scientist, Shahram Amiri, who defected to the U.S. and gave up what the CIA termed “significant information”, for which he was paid $5 million dollars before returning to Iran, was unable to take the money with him.
It seems that the U.S. Treasury prohibits the transfer of any funds from the United States to Iran. Ho ho ho. The CIA offered to get his family out of Iran to safety here in the U.S. but I betcha this idiot got an offer from Iran that he trusted (how stupid can one be?) and got on a plane back to Iran instead.
No doubt he thought that he could transfer all that lovely money back to an Iranian bank account once he was safely (safely?) back in Iran. Ah, but NO. The cash stays here, no doubt will be returned to the CIA’s coffers, and what he’ll probably end up getting from his beloved terrorist leaders is lots of torturing before being dismembered with a carving knife.
If this is the true quality of Iranian scientist’s intelligence, then I fail to see what everyone is worried about.
HO HO HO.
“Which lesson can we learn from that, comrades? The lesson — which is one of the basic principles of our Party — that the true quality of Islamic intelligence is ZERO. Absolute Evil is completely depictable — even in IQ.”
My favorite part:
“Ah, but NO. The cash stays here, no doubt will be returned to the CIA’s coffers, and what he’ll probably end up getting from his beloved terrorist leaders is lots of torturing before being dismembered with a carving knife.”
News Bleat is perfect even in the writing style: here, I always read what I like.
Thanks, Ernesto. I wish everyone else felt the same way, then I’d be famous.
