Mystery of Iran Nuclear Scientist Solved, Or is It? What about Future Sins?.................

“On Wednesday, US security officials told ABC News on conditions of anonymity that Shahram Amiri has not only defected to the US, but is also assisting the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in its longstanding plans to sabotage Iran's nuclear program. The report claimed that Amiri, an expert on radioactive isotopes at Malek Ashtar University in Tehran, was seduced into defection by US officials as part of “an intelligence coup” against the Iranian government. Amiri disappeared into thin air while he was on the Hajj pilgrimage in the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia last year. Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, have accused Riyadh and Washington of abducting Amiri. Washington has denied any involvement in the incident, claiming that it knew nothing about the Iranian scientist, or his whereabouts………” Press TV (Iran)

The Iranians “were” right then, and the Americans “are” also right now (after lying along with the Saudis that they did not know anything about him). He had defected (or talked into it) while in Saudi Arabia. You can bet the mullahs will never let any nuclear scientist go on the Hajj or Omrah for some time. They just have to restrain themselves from sinning for some time (converting is not an option).
It will be interesting to see what he told US intelligence about the Iranian nuclear program. One report quoted by Juan Cole today claims that he confirmed earlier reports that Iran is NOT doing a weapons program, but that they will reach a stage whereby they CAN do so if they choose. Or something like that (you can tell that I abandoned my interest in physics after my Freshman year).
