Latest semi-relevant news:
Hezbollah arms smugglers captured in Iraq
KUT, Iraq, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- Key members of an alleged Hezbollah criminal network accused of smuggling Iranian explosives into Iraq have been captured, military officials say.

In a statement, a spokesman for the U.S.-led Multi-National Forces in Iraq said a "notorious" smuggler from the Iranian-affiliated Hezbollah Islamist militant group had been detained Tuesday in Kut, about 90 miles southeast of Baghdad, KUNA, the Kuwait News Agency, reported.
What with the worldwide economic meltdown this hasn't received much notice... but it is a conveniently timed resurrection of the "Hezbollah bad" narrative that supports my delusional conspiracy theory.

Have a nice day.
