"There have been several diaries on the story that was published in the right-wing Canadian newspaper, The National Post, today, which relied on Iranian exiles as sources. But significant is a companion piece by one, Amir Taheri, What makes it significant is who Taheri is, who his associates are, and who sponsors him...

...[H]is writings are published by National Review, the New York Post, the Jerusalem Post and the Weekly Standard. But more significant is that he has sponsored by Benador Associates, an erstwhile public relations firm whose founder, Eleana Benador has major right-wing connections...

...As for Benador Associates, aside from Taheri, its clients include such prominent neo-cons such as James Woolsey, Michael Leeden, Frank Gaffney and Richard Perle...

...So, without knowing whether the story is true or not, our antennas should be up for the distinct possiblity that, like the propaganda in the lead up to the Iraq war, this story is a neo-con plant seeking to support an attack on Iran..."
