I don't buy it

Friend: Iran plot suspect "no mastermind" - CBS News: "Arbabsiar, 56, was being held without bail in New York for his role in the alleged plot to kill Saudi diplomat Adel Al-Jubeir in the United States. The Justice Department contends that Arbabsiar and another man working for the Iranian government tried to hire a purported member of a Mexican drug cartel to carry out the attack with a bomb while Al-Jubeir was at a restaurant."

There's something fishy about this whole thing. Iran is venal and homicidal and all the negative things one can say about a nation that is tied to terror umbilically. But all I need to do is reflect on the dunderheaded operation we call the War on Drugs and imagine the anxious state of the terror ferrets at any clue that might uncover any sort of plot and then add in the bureaucratic interaction and the political milieu and I ask myself, Is this the guy? If he is, who is running him. And why? For every James Earl Ray there are others we may never know tied to organizations that might shatter stereotypes. This just looks fishy. It would not be the first time a plot has been dramatized in order to make its objects look foolish. Give me some reason to believe this is all on the level.
