I didn’t mean that everything they publish is wrong, but I’ve seen other things there nearly as bad. A more credible source would be good.

I wasn’t aware of that, so thanks for the link. I’ll bear it in mind when reading articles there in the future. But as it’s by a different author it’s not directly relevant. Shouldn’t you have borne that in mind? I mean NYtimes has published a lot of bullshit over the years. We don’t write off everyone there because of that.

Your link is to the Asia Times which is the same rag that reported that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
is dead and that the US is holding and interrogating an impostor.
Get a more credible source .

On the subject of covert-ops in Iran and reasons for them these two articles have some interesting info. They also mention Jundallah. And this somewhat satirical post from Sibel Edmonds (who lived in Iran during her childhood) addresses the issue of our concern for Iranian democracy in a somewhat novel way.

On the face of it,on the ass of it, on the side of it, or any other way except in your bizarro world.
Things that are not obviously linked shouldn’t be said to be linked without providing linkage of some sort.

“on the face of it?”

Nice.

Of course there’s no evidence of cause “on the face of it.”

But you knew that, and chose your words with care.

It would have been nice if Floyd had some evidence to offer. Saying that Jundallah is financed or sent out to fight the Iranian government by the US is something that should be accompanied by proof.
The bomb blast in late May has, on the face of it, nothing to do with US interests. Floyd notes that the Iranian government and Jundalleh are fighting over political influence, religion and drug smuggling and fails to note that Jundallah has been, in recent years,more widely linked to Al Qaeda than the US.
