Iran sentences US man to death for spying

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's Revolutionary Court sentenced an American to death for spying for the CIA, the semi-official Fars news agency reported Monday. "Amir Mirza Hekmati was sentenced to death ... for cooperating with the hostile country (the United States) and spying for the CIA," Fars said, without giving a source. "The court found him Corrupt on Earth and Mohareb (waging war on God)," it added.

How will the Obama Administration react to this? US is arguing that he was just visiting family and confessions he made were made under pressure.

But then again a US marine working along with or formerly was with the CIA/DARPA visiting Iran appears to be very suspect.

One more nail in the coffin.
