Iran arrests two spy pigeons near nuclear facility
by James Exelby

EYE SPY: Pigeons have been flying military missions for at least 850 years.

Two spy pigeons have been arrested in the vicinity of the Iranian nuclear facility at Natanz, and handed over to the country's security services, local press reported on Monday.

Iranian paper E'temad-e Melli quoted an informed source as saying that one pigeon carrying a wired rod fixed to its body with the use of invisible threads had been caught near the Mihan Rose Water Company in Kashan, Isfahan province.

He added that the second bird, a black pigeon carrying a blue wired rod fixed to its back by invisible threads, had been caught at the beginning of the month.

A pigeon costs around a dollar or so...so where did the US spent the other $399,999,997 for the covert operations?

All my Jaws asks for is a chance.

Btw, he hates Nemo. He thinks he's the Paris Hilton of fish. So lets not mention Nemo, I can only quell Jaws' tantrums by slowly driving by the neighbourhood sushi bar, Jaws in his fish bowl perked on the dash board.

My pet goldfish, Jaws, has dreams of being a spy. It breaks my heart to see him finning away in his aquarium, going through this tunnel and that, hoping, dreaming, that one day...

I wonder if they used the Amazon pigeon , with its wider wing span and thus the ability to carry more hardware, or was it just the ordinary Gulf Lesser Spotted pigeon which is speedier and can fly below radar..

Rumours are that the Bush administration has OK's about $400 million to begin covert operations against Iran. Spy pigeons may be one of the expenses along with drones, informants etc.
