Nothing on Drudge. Linda Vestor stated this on her program. Maybe Reuters?

Iran might have seen the writing on the wall....

I smell a deal.

I don't know who's involved or what it cost, but I do know that the ayatollah's are not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.

Maybe Iran will do a Libya instead of a North Korea?

I wonder if the "We're still into pre-emptive strikes" speech was a clear message to Iran...

Either that, or a veiled message to Iran regarding ISRAEL'S will to destroy their reactors. My bets are still on Israel taking out their nuclear capabilities within the next 3-4 months.

It's all part of the mullahs' "cheat/retreat" strategy as it relates to nukes. Do something brazen, and then act as though you are trying to help the US. We might have let them know that we'll be far more likely to restrain the Israelis from bombing those nuke plants if they cough up some Al Qaeda biggies.

Dang, if Iran goes the way of Libya, GWB will be the greatest peacemaker in 100 years. That would be incredible. I think there is a vast thing going on thru back channels and with the increased alert. I think people are lining up not wanting to be on the bad side of GWB and I think they think Bush will win the election and with nothing to lose, he may go in and clean their clocks.

First we have the surrender of an individual, who unquestionably has ties and info. Granted he's disabled, and probably too much baggage for a band on the move.

The Iraqi's cracking down with 500 arrests. 500!

Now an apparent cooperation from Iran.

A striking day. Just wish I could find some follow-up on this. I'm not watching the tube right now, so don't know if there is more.

It's been no secret that Iran has had numerous AQ leaders in "custody" for a long time now.

Yep. That was reported shortly after the troops went into Afghanistan.

Yep.

But I'll say, this individual might really have come from Afstan. He's an old timer against the Soviets, and some Afghan locals might have kept him safe for that.

That's not at all unprecedented. Remember how long it took to bring Khaddafi around to surrendering Libya's WMD materials and programs. And the bulk of the diplomatic back and forth came from the Brits.

Another member of the Axis of Evil will fall, moving North Korea to the head of the class...
