I swear, this isn’t even pit-worthy: [Iran blames Israel for the Sandy Hook shooting](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2012/12/18/irans-state-run-news-network-blames-israeli-death-squads-for-sandy-hook-shooting/) Apparently Israel is mad at the US for a snub regarding building in the West Bank, so our reaction was to send a death squad to shoot up the school and frame Adam Lanza. Oh, and for some reason the US government is cooperating in the coverup, despite the fact that the reason Israel did this in the first place is a quarrel with the administration… 😕 The crazy… It burns :smack: This isn’t even worthy of anger. It’s just pathetic… (I’d like to take this opportunity to offer condolences to anyone affected by the shooting) ---

Um… yeah. Once again we have played into the hands of those crafty Israelis. They’ve really got us over a barrel this time. ---

It doesn’t get much lower. Using our national tragedy for their propaganda purposes. And somewhere, someone is believing this. ---

I missed seeing your post. Yes, I am sceptical and cynical by nature being a lawyer. But, this seems legitimate although the as it is an opinion piece written by the Gordon Duff fellow rather than a news report, its a bit of a different kettle of fish than saying that “Iran has blamed Israel”.
