Flordia: Iranian Woman Sentenced For Smuggling Night Vision Goggles To Ira
2009-03-06 19:55:00 FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) ? An Iranian woman who surrendered to U.S. authorities hoping to get probation was instead sentenced Friday to more than five years in federal prison for her role in a scheme to smuggle military night-vision goggles to Iran.U.S. District Judge James I. Cohn imposed the sentence on 31-year-old Shahrazad Mir Gholikhan, a mother of twin daughters who insisted during her trial in December that she was innocent. She has already spent more than a year behind bars, which will count toward her sentence of five years and three months.Gholikhan previously said she would appeal.With an indictment hanging over her head, Gholikhan came to the U.S. voluntarily in late 2007 to plead guilty in a deal she expected would allow her to quickly return home. But her plea deal collapsed because of an error in the estimated sentence ? leaving her with a likely two years in prison ? so Gholikhan decided to go to trial, choosing to act as her own attorney.Gholikhan was convicted De...

Iranian Parliament provisionally approves death penalty for leaving Islam
2008-10-03 14:32:00 Barnabas Fund reports,'The Iranian Parliament has given provisional approval, by a majority of 196 to seven, to a bill that mandates the death penalty for apostasy from Islam. Until now Iranian judges could impose the death penalty in such cases only on the basis of Islamic law and fatwas, not on the basis of Iranian law. The bill prescribes a mandatory death sentence for any male Muslim who converts from Islam to another religion, and lifelong imprisonment for female converts from Islam. It also gives the Iranian secular courts authority to convict Iranians living outside the country of crimes relating to Iranian national security. It seems likely that this could be used against the many Iranian Christians who live outside Iran but are involved in evangelism within it. Apostasy from Islam is viewed by most Muslims as equivalent to treason. The bill, which was drafted earlier this year, is now being reviewed in parliament, giving MPs the opportunity to amend it. Before it becomes l...

Did Iranian agents dupe Pentagon officials?
2008-06-06 19:15:00 In a word, yes, several times. First Chalabi, the Iranian spy, working paradoxically with Israeli spies in AIPAC, manipulated the already inclined neocons in the Bush Administration, to lead the Iraqi invasion. McClatchy Washington Bureau Defense Department counterintelligence investigators suspected that Iranian exiles who provided dubious intelligence on Iraq and Iran to a small group of Pentagon officials might have "been used as agents of a foreign intelligence service ... to reach into and influence the highest levels of the U.S. government," a Senate Intelligence Committee report said Thursday. A top aide to then-secretary of defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, however, shut down the 2003 investigation into the Pentagon officials' activities after only a month, and the Defense Department's top brass never followed up on the investigators' recommendation for a more thorough investigation, the Senate report said.

2008-05-28 13:35:00 An engineer from Iran was convicted Tuesday of illegally accessing a protected computer in the United States to use training software he obtained at a former job at a nuclear power plant in Arizona.The jury deadlocked on two other counts against Mohammad Reza Alavi: stealing protected software and illegally exporting the software in violation of the U.S. trade embargo with Iran. A retrial was set for Aug. 1.Defense attorney David Laufman said he plans to file a motion asking U.S. District Judge Neil Wake to overturn the guilty verdict."The government failed to meet its burden of proof on the main charges in this case," Laufman said.Alavi, 50, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Iran, ran afoul of the law in 2006, prosecutors said. That is when he quit his job at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station west of Phoenix and brought a laptop to Iran containing training software with design schematics and other details of the plant.

Can Iranian nukes save American democracy?
2008-04-28 20:01:00 Go ahead, call me a traitor — that is, if your definition of a traitor is someone who doesn’t go along with whatever our politicians tell us.

Now, before I discuss the link between Iranian nuclear weapons and American democracy, I have to say a bit about the incompatibility of democracy and imperialism. No country in human history has ever had both democracy and empire at the same time for very long. The ancient Romans gave up their democracy to keep their empire. Julius Caesar proved himself so skilled at invading other lands and sending home slaves and treasure that the Roman Senate — the richest Romans, who also needed slaves to work their estates — decided to turn over the entire country to him. Caesar was killed as a tyrant, but it was too late — representative government was out for good, a...
