You may have heard that yesterday, Iran hanged an alleged “Mossad spy”, Majid Jamali Fashi.<\/p>\n

Today, published reports<\/a> indicate that Wikileaks may have been responsible for exposing this individual to Iranian authorities – and thus for his demise.\u00a0 From the linked article:<\/p>\n

The Times of London reported Wednesday that a document from the US Embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan, seemingly drew attention to Fashi. The September 2009 US diplomatic document \u2014 identified by the code 09BAKU687 \u2014 quotes an Iranian source who was a licensed martial arts coach and trainer as describing to his American contacts pressure from the Iranian regime to train soldiers and militiamen in martial arts.<\/p>\n

Fashi was reportedly in Baku for an international martial arts competition only days before the US Embassy document was written.<\/p>\n

The suggestion is that the Iranian authorities identified Fashi as someone who was in illicit contact with the West on the basis of the document. He was arrested days after the publication of the document by WikiLeaks in December of 2010 and charged with carrying out the January 2010 assassination of nuclear scientist Masoud Ali-Mohammadi on behalf of the Mossad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t have any idea whether or not Fashi was working for the Mossad, or what exposed him if he was indeed a Mossad agent.\u00a0 But the above theory is plausible.\u00a0 Whether it’s the truth or not, I don’t know.<\/p>\n

But it damn sure could be true.<\/p>\n

Congratulations, PFC Manning.\u00a0 You may now literally have blood on your hands.<\/p>\n

And the next time anyone asserts that Manning giving those quarter-million classified documents to Wikileaks was “no big deal”, refer them to Fashi’s family.\u00a0 I’m sure his parents and siblings will agree wholeheartedly that Wikileaks was “no big deal.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
