Another U.S. citizen [Soros employee] is detained [Iran

[-Cp]

Iran has detained an Iranian American consultant working for George Soros' Open Society Institute, the group said.

The detention of Kian Tajbakhsh comes amid recent accusations by Iranian authorities that the U.S. is using critics and dissidents to try to overthrow the hard-line government.

The group is a private foundation that encourages democracy-building in countries around the world.

This month, Iranian authorities arrested Haleh Esfandiari, director of the Middle East Program at the Washington-based Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and charged her with setting up a network to overthrow the Islamic regime.

A soros employee is not someone I am very concerned about. But it may show the libs they are not safe when it comes to islam.

That's two the iranians have now.

When they figure out who he's working for, they'll probably throw him a party and then let him go. :rolleyes:

Well the names of and mission statements of the two groups do suggest Iran may be correct.

I doubt that we would hesitate to detain somebody on the same charges.

And it isn't like we haven't openly declared to all the world that regime change in Iran is our goal.

And this is not without precedent, the Shah was imposed when the US overthrew iran's democracy decades ago.

And similar sounding groups are the front groups to overthrow the Venezuelan and haitian gummits closer to home. Sponsored at least in part by the US.
