Iran Executes Alleged Bomber...
I was a little flippant about this story earlier. Well apparently only one week after a bombing which killed 11 Revolutionary Guards in Iran, the Iranians captured, tried, and hung the man they claim responsible. Oh, he was also responsible for a bank robbery, and and the deaths of police and others. Some amazing police work that. Just one week, to investigate, try, and capture a terrorist. Apparently the United States should take some notes. No?
The sad fact is, based on the nature of the Iranian Regime, we will never have any idea whether the man you see here was a hardened Sunni terrorist, or some homeless man they swept off the street. What is incredibly irritating is the reporting of the Associated Press, which takes the word of the Islamic Republic of Iran's thug-ocracy without so much as a blink. Take for instance this quality journalism from the AP:
Not alleged bomber. If this was an individual that American officials had accused of terrorism, it would be "alleged" bomber, long after he was tried and convicted, after a five year circus of law enforcement and judicial wrangling. But the Iranians beat the man to extract a confession (JUST LOOK AT THE GUY'S FACE!) and hang him from a crane on the public square the day after their kangaroo court, and the man's guilt is assumed. Like I said, I don't know if he was the terrorist they said he was or not. It's certainly possible, but I overwhelms me how the MSM will take the word of the enemies of the United States at the drop of a hat, yet ignores facts and figures, and the overwhelming evidence of the obvious in its reporting on US claims. "Sky is Blue", US officials claim.
Apparently, being un-biased means taking the word of your country's enemies as the gospel truth. I'm glad I didn't go to J-School to learn that lesson.

several members of an elite military corps, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported Monday.The report said the
government hanged Nasrollah Shanbe Zehi in public in Zahedan, capital of Sistan-Baluchestan province, a day after a revolutionary
court convicted him for last week's bombing that killed 11 members of the Revolutionary Guards.
