Iran's Secret Plan For Mayhem

BY ELI LAKE - Staff Reporter of the Sun

WASHINGTON — Iran is supporting both Sunni and Shiite terrorists in the Iraqi civil war, according to secret Iranian documents captured by Americans in Iraq.

The news that American forces had captured Iranians in Iraq was widely reported last month...

This is the first I've heard of captured documents, but I doubt this is a new development. Even I've suspected this for awhile.

Agreed, I think we've known this for awhile, this is just the first we've had any confirmation of it.

I'm a LITTLE surprised that they are supporting Sunni insurgents. I really don't think they'd need to, as Saudi Arabia is probably already doing that. It makes sense that they would play both sides off each other, but I'd think they'd get more out of the Shiites winning outright.
