If we can invade the airspace of a nuclear power (Russia; Cold war) we can certainly invade the airspace of a nation which has as it's public policy the destruction of our greatest regional ally (Isreal) and the obtainment of nuclear weapons.
Frankly, I'd be worried if we weren't using every way to gather intel on them.
why wouldn't the american hating terrorist prefer to attack americans over the iraqi's?
he would unless he really was on the CIA payroll...
How would You feel if a Foreign Military Drone or any other Aircraft Penetrated American Airspace?

No doubt, being in bed with the terrorists certainly has it's perks info-wise...just as Fox being in bed with Bush has it's perks for it no doubt....
I'd wait for some other independent journalistic confirmation of this (and there are plenty of reputable ones that hate us, so don't worry) before believing it wholeheartedly....
They aren't always spewing propaganda.... Sometimes they have some great legit news and from a unique perspective or exclusive (i.e. like the tapes you mentioned). However, when one repeatedly airs propaganda as journalism (ala Fox), then yes, the source becomes rather tainted....and demands more corraboration....
TEHRAN -- Bomb blasts struck Iranian government buildings in the capital of an oil-rich border province, followed within hours by two other bombs in central Tehran, killing a total of nine persons days before Iran's presidential elections.
Iran's security service blamed the bombings -- the deadliest in Iran in more than a decade -- on supporters of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
A spokesman for the Supreme National Security Council, Iran's top security decision-making body, blamed groups affiliated to Saddam's former Ba'athist regime in Iraq. State TV quoted spokesman Ali Agha Mohammadi as saying the perpetrators of the Ahvaz bombings had infiltrated into Iran from Basra in southern Iraq.
Some Sunni leaders in Iraq have accused Shi'ite Iran of meddling in Iraqi affairs by backing Shi'ite Muslim clergy and politicians in a bid to sway Iraq's politics toward an Islamic establishment.
Iran denies the charges, but some speculate that extremists loyal to Saddam could be trying to create insecurity in Iran ahead of the presidential polls.
Others pointed to a more local cause. Ahvaz was the site of recent violent protests over plans to alter the proportion of Arabs and non-Arabs in the region.
The vast majority of Iranians are not Arab.

Now soulja Iran is not blaming or finding any facts that this attack had anything to do with the U.S. But I assume you have soulja or is it the same old explanation?

If we were a religious theocracy that was hell bent on getting nuclear weapons then I would understand why it was being done.
OK - Why would Ex-Iraq Regime Loaylists want to bomb targets in Iran?

It is bitter irony that the CIA is using a group still labelled as a terrorist organisation, a group trained in the art of explosive assassination by the same intelligence units of the former regime of Saddam Hussein, who are slaughtering American soldiers in Iraq today, to carry out remote bombings in Iran of the sort that the Bush administration condemns on a daily basis inside Iraq.

Sunnis in Iraq see the Iranians as trying to empower the Shiite majority in Iraq therefore the Sunni are retaliating back.
Do you have any proof? Al Jazeera does not have any proof either you too seem to thrive in the speculation realm.
No I don't know what you mean because you have evidence to backup what you are saying.
You seem to have a habit of blaming everything on the U.S. or CIA.

Sunni Muslims are unpredictable Souljah, u may think that its logical that Iraqi Sunnis would not dare attack Iran. we saw wat happened back in the 80's wen they decided to invade Iran because the Sunnis felt threaten by the Shiite's rise as well as their belief to spread Shiite expansion. and now we have assasinations and bombings on Shiites and the Sunnis believe that by attacking Iran it is a warning to them not to interfere with Iraq. since the Iranians are Shiites well... u know the rest.
