The Iranians arrested 15 people for a mosque bombing in Iran. They say the suspects are clandestine agents of the United States and Britain. My question to Senator McCain is this. Will they use Army Field Manual guidelines to question these people, or ball-peen hammers and water boarding to get what they want????????? We all know the answer to that. I think we need to stock up on ball-peen hammers and water boarding stations if we are serious about winning this war on terror.

Iran Arrests 15 over Shiraz Blast
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran has arrested a total of 15 people over a deadly
mosque bombing in the southern city of Shiraz, the intelligence
minister said on Wednesday.
Iranian officials have accused the United States and Britain of
training and financing people behind the April 12 bombing which killed
13 people and wounded more than 200.
"So far 15 people have been arrested and all the ones involved in
this incident are our country's nationals," Gholam Hossein Mohseni
Ejehi said.
Iran said the bombers were western-backed monarchists after the arrest of first suspects last week.
Ejehi said the bombers were linked with an anti-Islamic television channel.
"This movement stems from a place that combats Islam. It is a
channel broadcasting from London on 'Your TV' since 2004," the minister
said of the Persian language opposition satellite channel.
"In their propaganda they targeted Islam, the Koran, God, the prophet (Mohammed) and Islamic sanctities.
"They brainwashed ... lowlifes and incited hatred towards Islam in
a way that if they wanted to carry out an operation those people would
be very motivated to do it," Ejehi said.
"If a person is told to go bomb a mosque with people at prayers they would not hesitate."
An opposition expatriate group named the Kingdom Assembly of Iran,
headed by 'Your TV' host, Forood Fooladvand, claimed responsibility on
its website for the blast and vowed that more "hostile acts" were to be
expected.
Iranians have a sizeable diaspora community in Iran's arch-foe, the
United States, a few of whom support the son of Iran's deposed Shah,
Reza Pahlavi.
The intelligence minister said Iran had complained to Britain
against people behind the channel in 2005 and 2006 but that the British
"did not do anything, in contradiction with their words."
Ejehi also said, "the ones responsible for the Shiraz blast were
directly controlled by America and were trained in bombing, acting
secretly and escaping. They were provided with equipment and financial
aid."
The bombing ripped through a packed mosque, which was a gathering
place for members of a religious and cultural centre named Rahpouyan-e
Vessal, during the evening prayers sermon led by a prominent local
cleric.
The local cleric would preach against Wahhabism - the ultra-conservative form of Sunni Islam practiced in Saudi Arabia.
In his sermon, he also attacked the Bahai faith, whose followers
are deemed as apostate by the Islamic republic and their beliefs are
not recognized by the constitution.
Ejehi described targeting religious places as an "American package"
and stressed that "the United States officially supports people who
commit terrorist acts in the east and west of the country."
The intelligence minister also said the people behind the blast
"intended to bomb a Russian consulate in northern Iran to harm Iran's
relations with its neighbors."
