Iran's UN Guards Expelled

We've expelled 2 Iranian UN security guards.

The U.S. government has expelled two Iranian security guards at Iran's U.N. Mission, citing activities "incompatible with their stated duties," a U.S. official said Tuesday.

The language is reserved for cases involving espionage.

The Iranians were caught on three occasions taking photos of infrastructure, transport systems and New York City landmarks, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

My only question is why we waited until the third time they were caught.

It's pretty simple, the State Dept. wonks care more about their personal relationships than the safety of the country.
