Meanwhile back on planet earth:
Experts say report of badges for Jews in Iran is untrue:

Several experts are casting doubt on reports that Iran had passed a law requiring the country’s Jews and other religious minorities to wear coloured badges identifying them as non-Muslims.
This propaganda buildup, with its recent barrage of hyperbolic and sensational stories about a place most people paid scant attention to 2 years ago, reminds me of how people swallowed everything they read about Iraq 3 years ago without the slightest bit of critical examination.
People don't even seem to notice how many of these stories are all coming from the same Iranian ex-patriot (the Iranian Ahmed Chalabi), Amir Taheri, or that he's a paid public speaker at the same firm that's also employed Richard Perle.
Not that some of what we're reading isn't true (as the best propaganda, and the greatest lies and distorions, all contain a grain of truth), but IMHO those who take everything they read as gospel, and without any further examination, are little better than Pavlov's dogs.
