That is right. Just when you think you ahve heard it all you hear this. Iran is saying that the CIA killed Neda to further insight the protests in Iran. Anyone buying this? She has not been the only person shot or killed during these protests. Are they saying the CIA killed them all? Anyone actually buying this story?

I am truly amazed that anyone would buy this tripe. I guess those would be the same people that believed it when the Iranian government claimed that the protests were started and organized by the British intelligence agencies.

Sounds like everybody here is on the same page with this one. I just wonder what took them so long? Many of us have been expecting the whole mess would be blamed on America long before this.

Not a bit, Iran is run by lunatics and lunatics will say anything to stay in power.

If the CIA was going to kill someone I can guarantee it wouldn't be Neda or any of the others killed. There's a reason the CIA doesn't go around killing people, even ones like Saddam Hussein. It was talked about during Desert Storm.

Blaming CIA for killing is nothing new for this outlaw regime. They had been blaming CIA ever since Shah of Iran era for whatever problems infested that country. Of course right now the regime will say CIA kill this n that during the protest to incite Iranians' hatred on USA. It is very much predictable on their part, the usual political trend in fanatic country of middle east is putting blame on the biggest 'Satan' in the world, what else can an Islamic state come out with??? Don't be too surprised if this type of rhetoric is wildly acceptable and believe by population in Muslim populated country.

I don't know what is really happening there in iran. It would surely make sense for a western secret service to try to stir up the rebellion in iran (and killing that poor girl surely has increased the protest magnitude), but i don't know who i trust less, iran or western secret services... I guess we will never know the truth.

I have a hard time believing Obama would have approved the orders for the CIA to do it. And htey would have had to have had his approval to do it. So I do not think the CIA or the west is responsible for this. I seem when ever anything happens Iran and a lot of other countries use the western nations as a scapegoat.

I too don't think that obama would approve it, but maybe israel's service would. Anyway i am absolutely not saying that what the iranians say is true... i am just leaving them the benefit of the doubt

There is a lot of difference between saying that i believe iranians, and that i don't know the trurh. I don't know what is happening there, and it is both plausible that iranians try to put the blame on western countries, and that western countries try to stir those rebellions to try to overthrown a govern that is surely hostile towards them. So basically i don't know what is happening there, and so i can't tell you with absoulte certainty that the iranians lie. So i leave them the benefit of the doubt.

Iran is known for placing the blame on other countries, so I don't buy it-but I will say if it ended up true, it wouldn't surprise me a bit. Think someone mentioned Israel, and Israel has a long history of stirring the pot by doing that sort of stuff, especially to the US trying to get us to "sympathize" with them on those matters, so I wouldn't put it past them either to do something like that.

This is only an accusation to prove that Iran, authority meddling the issue. Because they really killed innocent people with any justified reasons. They want to gain from Iranian, people and shows how United State, trampling their government. Is the CIA, in sound mind that go their and snipe people? Who can buy this story of Ahmadenijad?
