Connecting the Dots: Whistling Past The Graveyard -- Signs of the Times News: "The lengths that Israel and the US will go to in order to convince us that Iran is a threat to the free peoples of the world were displayed for all to see last month as Shahram Amiri, a scientist who had worked on Iran's civilian nuclear program, returned home to Iran with a very different version of
events that led to his disappearance last year. The official story up to this point had been that he defected of his own free will. It turns out that he was abducted by US and Saudi agents during a pilgrimage to Medina in Saudi Arabia and was put under 'intensive psychological pressure' (read, tortured) to 'reveal some false information about Iran's nuclear work.' He was also offered $50 million to remain a guest of the CIA, agree to say that he was in the US seeking political asylum and become their media spokesman on the wickedness of Iran's ways. Even more disturbingly, Amiri revealed that 'Israeli agents were present at some of my interrogation sessions and I was threatened to be handed over to Israel if I refused to cooperate with Americans.' Echoing the Russian spy swap in June, it also emerged that the US
offered to exchange Amiri for the three American 'hikers' caught and detained by Iran last year after they crossed over from Iraq, thereby acknowledging that the 'hikers' were in fact spies and not, as US media propaganda
broadcast at the time, 'innocent tourists' who had simply taken a wrong turn."
