    Attorney General Eric Holder, in announcing the plot and criminal charges filed against two individuals, would not say exactly how high up the plot went in the Iranian government.

    But U.S. officials made clear they will use the plot to marshal international pressure against the regime.

    "The United States is committed to holding Iran accountable for its actions," Holder said.

    A State Department official on Tuesday called the case a "flagrant violation of international law."

    And Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the U.S. would work with its allies to "send a very strong message that this kind of action, which violates international norms, must be ended."

    In a separate interview with the Associated Press, Clinton said the plot "crosses a line," and that she and President Obama were calling international leaders to tell them what happened. She said they want to "pre-empt" any efforts by Iran to deny responsibility, as well as "enlist more countries in working together against what is becoming a clearer and clearer threat" from Iran, according to the Associated Press.

    Speaking to Fox News on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the subject, the officials said the Pentagon sees the alleged plot as a criminal act that is rightly being handled by the Department of Justice.

    BTW

    The information on the alleged assignation plot was known for the previous 11 days.

    Coincidence?

    The plot was disclosed on the day of the Subpoena against Eric Holder

    When I heard of this arrest yesterday I had same thought put forth on the day of subpoena to get the 24 hours news media off the Fast and Furious event, I tend to have serious doubt on the entire Iranian story or we are planning a Iran war due about march of 2012.
    I'm old with many opinions few solutions.
