Sounds plausible to me...

Iran's judiciary has put forward a new theory as to how journalist Zahra Kazemi died while in Iranian custody. See, she wasn't beaten to death, she fell.

"The death of Mrs. Zahra Kazemi was an accident," according to a judiciary statement, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press.

"With the acquittal of the sole defendant, only one option is left: the death of the late Kazemi was an accident due to fall in blood pressure resulting from a hunger strike and her fall on the ground while standing," the statement said.

Read on.

Ottawa Sun columnist Earl McRae also has a column on the case today which features a rant by an Iranian-Canadian disgusted by his new country. Can't say I blame him.

Or maybe aliens. Or maybe those guys behind the grassy knoll.
