Via Facebook, the Tea Party Sent the Following Message to Governor Palin: Dear Sarah:We’ve missed you.

Britain despatched an undercover diplomat on a covert mission to the Bahamas to convince the deposed Shah of Iran not to seek to settle in the UK. The revelation comes in official archive documents made public 30 years after they were written.
