For anyone who is curious, a former Iranian deputy defense minister has defected to the west and is being questioned. At least, that is the official story. There is lots of speculation flying round about why and how he left. The Iranian government was swearing that he had been kidnapped for awhile.

Since this dude’s last official capacity in the Iranian government was in 2005, he probably has a fair amount of knowledge that is of interest to the US. But most people seem to think that Israel is the one questioning him.
