Was checking Red State Update: videos at youtube when an ad showed up with Iran’s thug in chief picture next to Obama’s. The ad says;
“Is it OK to Unconditionally meet with Anti-American foreign leaders? YES / NO”
First i thought that some organization is running a new poll but then noticed at the bottom it says; “Paid for by John McCain 2008″.
Here is the screenshot.

Some of you might remember the story about the “father” of Pakistani nuclear program, A.Q. Khan. In short, a few years ago he confessed of supplying nuclear weapons technology to such countries as Iran, North Korea and Libya. Everybody was happy since the documents were found, thief punished, and the case was closed.
Now, it’s being reported that those blueprints were actually digital copy based. Which means there is a possibility that somewhere and someone still has access to those documents. It’s still unknown yet how many people have a copy of it.
A design for a compact, missile-ready nuclear weapon could help an aspiring nuclear power overcome a major technical hurdle and vastly increase its options for delivery of a nuclear explosive. Such a design could theoretically help North Korea — which detonated a nuclear device in a 2006 test — to couple a nuclear warhead with its Nodong missile, which has a proven range of 1,300 kilometers (about 800 miles).

Once and accident, twice a coincident ? The documents were handed over to journalists first, in both case. Isn’t that strange ?
Secret Government documents which detail Britain’s policies on fighting global terrorist funding, drugs trafficking and money laundering have been found on a London-bound train.
The papers were handed to the Independent on Sunday newspaper, which has since returned them.
They contain criticism of countries – including Iran – which are signed up to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an inter-governmental body created to combat financial crime and the financing of terrorism, according to the newspaper.
A Treasury spokesman said: “We are extremely concerned about what has happened and we will be taking steps to ensure that it doesn’t happen in the future.”
The documents were found on Wednesday, the same day that another batch of secret papers relating to intelligence assessments of Iraq and al Qaeda were handed to the BBC after being left on a train.
Sky’s political correspondent Niall Paterson said: “One of the arguments that has come out is that these documents are being left deliberately on trains.
“That beggars belief, given the sensitivity of the material.
” A conference on global financial crime begins in Westminster on Monday. Some of the files were briefing notes and draft speeches for that.
“This follows swiftly on the back of the documents lost by the Cabinet Office, again on a train…

Here is a great first hand video by an American-iranian on how religious police works. His family decided to visit the country after 10 years and his sister got arrested for not wearing the hidjab, even so that she was walking outside with her family members. From his own words ”I don’t know how people can take this and not anything about it” .
Make sure that you listen the whole video, most interesting part starts around 4:30.
