It now appears that the story about a new Iranian law that would require Jews and Christians to wear special labels on their clothing may not be true. The Iranian government is denying it, although not before Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper condemned that government as one "capable" of passing such a law. I especially like this bit from the Iranian denial,

The report was described by Iran's local state media as a failed ``campaign lead by a Zionist newspaper.''

The report first appeared in the National Post of Canada. I didn't know they had Zionist newspapers in the Great White North. You learn something new every day. Meanwhile, Ha'aretz, which might be more accurately described as a Zionist newspaper, has this about the Post's retraction of the story, which they are blaming on Iranian analyst Amir Taheri. Thanks to Contratimes for alerting me to the Bloomberg story.
