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

The plot thickens :

From the LDS Genealogical Website :

b: Bristol, England
bapt: 25 FEB 1872 at Saint Augustine The Less, Bristol, Gloucester, England
son of Francis Williamson and
Mary Elizabeth (maiden name not shown)

#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.

Great post Big Ed. Being of British stock, Khomeini has gone up in my estimation somewhat.
