where's morocco mole when you need him?

Example

we think the ayatollahs have been watching too many hanna barbera cartoons. iran is accusing the west of sending squirrels to spy on them. that's right. squirrels. sky news:

police in iran are reported to have taken 14 squirrels into custody - because they are suspected of spying.

the rodents were found near the iranian border allegedly equipped with eavesdropping devices.

the reports have come from the official islamic republic news agency (irna).

when asked about the confiscation of the spy squirrels, the national police chief said: "i have heard about it, but i do not have precise information."

the irna said that the squirrels were kitted out by foreign intelligence services - but they were captured two weeks ago by police officers.

a foreign office source told sky news: "the story is nuts."
apparently tehran is also wary of super-intelligent bears being sent to steal their pik-a-nik baskets.

when asked how ursines could do such a thing, an iranian official replied, "they are smarter than the average bear."

it could be worse: they could have been sent man-eating badgers kitted out with eavesdropping devices by foreign intelligence services.
