Squirrel Spies Arrested in Iran

Iranian police have allegedly captured 14 squirrels that they say were involved in a plot to illegally spy on Iran. The squirrels, said to have been captured close to the Iranian border, were equipped with "eavesdropping" devices. The squirrels were taken into custody and at this time, their fate is unknown.

We have been able to find little evidence to support the accuracy of this story, but it does make you wonder...

How paranoid has Iran gotten that they would actually think their enemies would use SQUIRRELS to spy on them? I mean, come on, where would they even get a ridiculous idea like that?

Besides, if the U.S. had sent them, Scooter Libby and Dick Cheney would have already leaked the squirrel spy's identity in an attempt to punish the squirrel spy's husband for telling the world that Iraq wasn't trying to buy yellowcake uranium from Niger.
