#2 It is a hilarious irony that the Iranians, after years of being the Soviet Union's enemy, are now adopting purge techniques well known in Russia.
The amusing thing is that such purges are usually based on personalities, not objective reasons, so they end up killing what would otherwise be loyal and effective personnel.

#6 Naw, they'll mix it up to break the pattern - look for "impacted cerumen" as the next CoD.

#8 This is the fifth Guard commander to die because of a heart attack or stroke in the past month.
And people said that Israel's humanitarian mission to Haiti was just a meaningless gesture.

#12 I would think that if internal purges are going on, it would create some intelligence opportunities, what with some people looking for a ride out of town before the next scheduled mishap. Maybe expect a few more Iranians to get 'rescued' by the US Navy?
