Life in Iran

I don't know if you saw this story in the NY TIMES regarding the active and inaccurate rumor mill in Iraq, but this paragraph about Iran floored me:
The Iranian news media have gotten in on the act too, claiming that foreign forces have been fitting squirrels with miniaturized surveillance devices and sending them scurrying across the border to spy. Iranian news reports, monitored by the BBC, recently referred to 14 spy squirrels being captured by alert Iranian intelligence officials before the animals could take action against the nation.
