Hmmmmmm......

The head of the IAEA, Mohamed ElBaradei, says that it appears Iran has temporarily suspended its enrichement program.

Gonna have to wait a day or two to see what this means.

While you're waiting, how about a semi-credible story of a top level Iranian general defecting to Europe and cooperating with the US?

Later: Reuters has a little more on the general. While the Iranians claim he might have been kidnapped,

Turkish daily Hurriyet said last month two foreigners had gone to the reception of an Istanbul hotel on February 6 to make a room reservation for Asgari for three nights. They paid in cash. He checked into the hotel on February 7 and later disappeared.

That sounds like a defection to me.

(And, if you're looking for cloak and dagger, Russia is the place.

(BBC) Another Russian reporter dies after "falling" from a fifth floor window, and (BBC) an American mother and daughter(?) (check the ages, 42 and 26) are being treated in a Moscow hospital for Thalium poisoning.)

Later: Also an allegation that the General was kidnapped by the Israelis.
