#3  Reports indicate al-Sadr may be allowed to go into exile in Iran till July when an interim government takes over. At which time he can return to "face Iraqi justice" or stay where he is.

Mmmmmm. Get your probability vectors around that one.

#1  Khomeini’s real father, William Richard Williamson, was born in Bristol, England, in 1872 of British parents and lineage.

The plot thickens :
