US sells gear to Iran

"The U.S. military has sold forbidden equipment at least a half-dozen times to middlemen for countries - including Iran and China - who exploited security flaws in the Defense Department's surplus auctions. The sales include fighter jet parts and missile components."

- AP story

If this is correct (it is an AP story, so it might not be), this is incredibly stupid.

Unless of course we installed GPS devices ot other tracking items. Do you think we could be that smart?

Yeah, we could be that smart.

It would be sweet if Iran's F-14s crashed and burned because we suckered them on defective parts.

One never knows for sure.
