61. Google "Spying Squirrels"...........
Ilana ,   galut   (07.15.07)
This story is all over the Net :)))) !!! Too funny!!! Along with the story about UK troops in Iraq releasing 'man-eating' badgers in Basra. Some of the googled sites report that the squirrels were caught on the Iraq/Iran border. Others specifically use the words, "zionist", "Israel" and "Israeli"..... Did Mossad train them? The IDF? Do all the squirrels have the highest rating in Krav Maga? I hope they all speak unaccented Farsi......and get paid more than 'peanuts' !!!! Seriously AhminaNutJob.......try some DECAF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And for #48, M. Hartley------there IS a video on YouTube----a squirrel spying in someone's window ;-)))))

Say what? Your post didn't make much sense to me. Are you one of the guys interrogating the squirrels?
65. In other news...
Ron ,   Oregon, USA   (07.15.07)
"IDF kills 11 nuts"
66. RODINT - Rodent Intelligence
Andrew ,   Wellington NZ   (07.15.07)
Sources close to Tom & Jerry have confirmed the use of secret squirrels to ferret information into Iran.
67. I wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
robert morley ,   farmington   (07.15.07)
i wonder if they will cave in like the brits did , or will they launch a ground to air attack using a land base walnut tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
68. Spy Squirrels and Tiny Handcuffs
Rocky F. Squirrel ,   Dallas, USA   (07.15.07)
If you are a Seinfield fan, you might remember the eposide re the squirrel Geo Castanza hit with his car. The surgeon had to special order those tiny surgical instruments in order to operate on the rodent's tail. In the meantime, George had to carry the squirrel around in a Snugli...
69. Nothinh new, the project started in the 70's I think

You're talking about the Acoustic Cat. You're right -- this happens all the time. India detained falcons from Pakistan with hi-tech devices just a couple of years ago, and nevermind the gerbils Israelis were using to sniff out elevated adrenaline levels in airplane passengers who might be terrorists. After all, it's just those crazy Iranians who'd ever dream up anything like this . . . .
72. Paging Morroco Mole.

Morocco Mole to a white courtesy phone.
73. Texas A&M Squirrels
B ,   US   (07.18.07)
If you went to Texas A&M you would be familiar with the squirrels that have radio collars on their necks. Maybe Gates took a few of them with him to work for the DOD...
74. "arrest" - any other word ynet ? to cry or to laugh ?
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (07.18.07)
75. Squirrels
Ralph G ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.18.07)
Have the Iranians determined that the squirrels are part of the Mossad, the Zionist enemy?
76. Intel Arrests
Rubicon ,   Southcentral PA, USA   (07.18.07)
I hope the Iranian Intel Agency was using the humane capture system! This story is so bizarre that it simply cannot be true. Even if it was true, I cannot imagine a grown man allowing the news to get out to the world for fear I would forever be marked as the guy who took down "Rocky" & friends! How can we in the west expect those who refuse to acknowledge there is a real war on terrorism, when one of the main characters involved has an official Intel Agency that actually admits they seized squirrels as "spies?" I'm not sure if I want to laugh, or to cry. Cynicism is overtaking my ability to reason!
77. "Blame"
Rubicon ,   Southcentral PA, USA   (07.18.07)
#24.... let's not automatically just lay blame for this at the feet of America! Blaming America reflects one's inability to reason. If America were to blame for everything folks try to dump on them, she would already be ruling every nation on the planet. Contrary to popular hyperbole and exaggeration, Americans do NOT want to rule the world. They are satisfied with our own little piece of the rock. Most are content to let well enough and others alone to make their own way!
78. 007 Squirrels
Jeff ,   Irvine, CA USA   (07.18.07)
Great joke - show a picture of a squirrel "surfing" and imagine the crafty look in his eyes.
79. subversive squirrel
Alec Saul ,   Ranaana Israel   (07.18.07)
Surely the Iranian animal cruelty league should complain to the Hague on the violation of there rights , and why has not the BBC stepped in to help them and defend them .Squirells of the world UNITE, i will bet they are infidels, and were part of the 9/11 conspiracy
80. Just a diversion
bubbalew ,   wilmington,NC   (07.18.07)
