Iran Acknowledges Espionage At Nuclear Facilities

Posted by timothy on from the oh-what-harm-can-a-few-nukes-do dept.

wiredmikey writes "Iran acknowledged Saturday that some personnel at the country's nuclear facilities were lured by promises of money to pass secrets to the West but insisted increased security and worker privileges have put a stop to the spying. The stunning admission by Vice President Ali Akbar Salehi provides the clearest government confirmation that Iran has been fighting espionage at its nuclear facilities."

    Iran is being spied upon. And in other news, horoscopes are fake and pie is delicious.

      Well clearly, you can trust these people: Ahmadinejad, Bush, Putin, Obama, Cheney, Limbaugh, Krugman, Bernanke, Geithner, Beck and such.

      Our intelligence shows that it is actually yellow cake which is delicious.

      lol, the guy mentioned obama in the list (and krugman), and you're all 'you forgot obama, you partisan hack'.

      someone's a partisan hack here, and it aint the guy you were replying to.

      Give him/her a break, probably public school, and you know how bad the public education system is.

    It's amazing how little we require of foreign powers these days, in order to believe that they're making some sort of tremendous admission. I blame the Iraqi Information Minister for causing us to set the bar so low.

    insisted increased security and worker privileges have put a stop to the spying.

    And, there are no homosexuals in Iran either.
