"As propaganda battle rages, Iranian scientist returns home" by Adam Goldman and Nasser Karimi, Associated Press | July 16, 2010
WASHINGTON — An Iranian nuclear scientist purportedly paid $5 million by the CIA returned yesterday to his homeland amid an escalating propaganda war between Washington and Tehran....
Iran’s leaders are expected to use Shahram Amiri to ring up as many propaganda points as possible against Washington — showing that relations remain in a deep freeze.
Why not? Our AmeriKan newspapers have a huge lead on them.
The conflicting accounts about Amiri — whether he was a captive of the Americans or a homesick defector — are unlikely to alter the Western-led pressure on Iran over its nuclear program.
So this is much ado about nothing, huh?
It also gives the ruling clerics a welcome distraction at a time when domestic protests are growing over Iran’s stumbling economy and worries about the fallout from international sanctions.
Well, AmriKa's MSM would know all about those.
The money paid to Amiri came from a secret program aimed at inducing scientists and others with information on Iran’s nuclear program to defect, according to The Washington Post.
YOUR TAX DOLLARS at work, America.
Now how much did you need to save your home?
US officials have insisted that Amiri was neither kidnapped nor coerced into leaving Iran and that he made the decision to come to the United States without his family. The US official added that Amiri decided to return to Iran in order to see his family again....
Yeah, pass that salt shaker over here. I'd like a few grains of salt to take with my AmeriKan MSM lies.
Amiri’s predawn arrival capped a stunning series of events over the past month that included leaked videos with mixed messages, Amiri surfacing at a diplomatic compound in Washington, and the White House finally acknowledging his presence in the country.

Not really.
The United States says he was a willing defector who changed his mind and decided to board a plane home. Amiri has told a very different tale, claiming he was snatched while on a pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia and bundled off to the United States to be harshly interrogated and offered millions of dollars by the CIA to speak against Iran.
Amiri was embraced by his family — including his tearful 7-year-old son — and greeted by a top envoy from Iran’s Foreign Ministry. Amiri, 32, smiled and gave the V-for-victory sign.
Yesterday, Amiri sought to play down his role in Iran’s nuclear program.
He was a SAFETY COORDINATOR!

Well, someone is smoking something in AmeriKa's newsrooms.
And what did he bring with him?
"Bomb attacks near mosque in Iran kill at least 20" by Nasser Karimi, Associated Press | July 16, 2010
TEHRAN — Twin bombings killed at least 20 people outside a mosque — including members of the powerful Revolutionary Guard — in attacks in southeastern Iran yesterday that came less than a month after the government hanged the leader of a militant insurgent group in the region.
Iran’s official IRNA news agency quoted the deputy governor of the Sistan-Baluchistan province, Jalal Sayyah, as saying the explosions tore through a crowd of Shi’ite worshipers near the main mosque in the provincial capital of Zahedan.
The deputy interior minister in charge of security, Ali Abdollahi, told the semiofficial Fars news agency that members of the Revolutionary Guard, the country’s most powerful military force, were killed in the blasts, which appeared to be the work of suicide bombers....
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombings, but Sistan-Baluchistan is home to the Jundallah insurgency, a Sunni group that has claimed responsibility for attacks that have killed scores in recent years....

Not when they REALLY ARE out to get you!
Jundallah says it is fighting for the rights of the Sunni Baluch minority, and accuses Iran’s Shi’ite-dominated government of persecution. Tehran accuses Jundallah of backing an insurgency in its southeast that has destabilized the border region with Pakistan.
In June, Iran hanged the group’s leader, Abdulhamid Rigi, in Zahedan after he was found guilty of carrying out attacks against civilians, armed robbery, and engaging in a disinformation campaign against Iran.
His younger brother, Abdulhamid, was executed in May in Iran after being captured in Pakistan in 2008 and extradited to Iran.
Sunni Pakistan and Shi'ite Iran working together against terrorists?
Everyone is just giving the Empire lip service and doing their own thing, huh?
