Iran frightened by security council leaks
2007-06-17
Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) top commanders close to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are warning him over information leaking from the regimeÂ’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) under its current secretary, Brig. General Ali Larijani who is also the top mullahsÂ’ negotiator with the West over the nuclear dispute.

The IRGC commanders have put forth as proof of such leakage the following facts:

•Prior to Arbil’s arrests of five top IRGC commanders by the U.S. forces, the so-called Iranian consulate in the Kurdish city was brought up in a close meeting of the SNSC in great details to find ways for increasing its activities. Subsequent to the discussions, Brig. Mohammad Sahraroodi, a top negotiator in Sharm-el-Sheikh Conference and a deputy to Ali Larijani on security Affairs, traveled to Arbil. A short time later the U.S. forces seized the facility and arrested five Quds force commanders in northern Iraq.

•Brig. Gen. Ali-Reza Asgari defected to the West with a huge amount of cash and gold bars which he collected over the years as the commander of logistics at the IRGC. His arrest was planed in the SNSC shortly before his disappearance, but he was able to escape just in time. This event upset Larijani personally since he presided over the session of SNSC when Asgari’s intention to defecting was discussed.

•It is widely believed that some of the most secret discussions such as nuclear issues in the SNSC are leaked to circles which have caused great concern, especially in Ali Khamenei office.

To eliminate the problem, Larijani has appointed one of the most brutal IRGC and Quds force commanders, Brig. Gen. Ali Fazli to investigate the matter and directly report to him. Fazli is currently a deputy to Brig. Gen. Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, the former deputy chief of IRGC and current deputy Interior Minister. The way Larijani is handling the problem demonstrates the degree of its seriousness for the mullahs in Tehran.

#5  Hopefully they will soon institute a Sippenhaft (blood guilt) law, and start executing not only those they believe might be spies and conspirators, but also their families.

#4  They will need to burn all their homes, cars, buildings, bases and clothes to make sure they are rid of the dreaded SMART DUST!

Wikipedia on Smart Dust

The devices, or motes, are intended to be the size of a grain of sand, or even a dust particle.

When clustered together, they would automatically create highly flexible, low-power networks with applications ranging from climate control systems to entertainment devices that interact with information appliances.

The smartdust concept was introduced by Kristofer Pister (University of California) in 2001 [1], though similar ideas existed in science fiction before then. A recent review [2] discusses various techniques to take smartdust in sensor networks beyond millimeter dimensions to the micrometre level.
A typical application scenario is scattering a hundred of these sensors around a building or around a hospital to monitor temperature or humidity, track patient movements, or inform of disasters, such as earthquakes. In the military, they can perform as a remote sensor chip to track enemy movements, detect poisonous gas or radioactivity. The ease and low cost of such applications have raised privacy concerns, primarily in science fiction stories, such as Prey by Michael Crichton.

Consider also that Smart Dust was derived from an earlier concept called Smart Matter, that was conceived at the Palo Alto Research Center.

#3  Its all the nano-tech smart dust spread all over the SNSC by Asgari just before he defected. By now the idiots have spread it via clothing and shoes to all secret bases and their homes. This makes all plans available to the Great Satan.

Really.

I am not kidding.
