"Smoking Guns"
3 July 2014
Pres. John Williams
USA
================
<Washington>
It wasn't every day that the President of the United States had his
work interrupted by a dashing, whooping staffer.

Today was one of those days.

"Sir!" breathed the staffer, a young CIA type attached to the
Situation Room. "WE GOT IT!"

"Got....what...?" replied the POTUS, as he looked at the staffer
oddly, wondering if he needed to call in someone with a Taser.

"Smoking gun proof the Iranians were behind the bombings, sir," spoke
the staffer quickly.

"I'll be down in 5."

The Whie House Situation Toom looked a lot like Mission Control at
NASA after the redesigns under the Richardson and Williams
administrations. Today, the atmosphere was probabbly a lot like that
at JSC after the Moon Landing was a success. Exuberant was really an
understattement.

"Ladies and gentlemen," POTUS announced as he walked in, "I hate to be
the skeptic amidst the celebrations, but how do we know the Iranians
did it?"

"Headers on the emails, sir. They point to the Iranian Intel Ministry."

"Headers can be faked. I do it, spammers do it, the subjects can do it too."

"Here are the emails sir, as retrieved by FBI during the warrant
searches," handed over a staffer.

Williams read them in the raw Farsi.

"They feel accurate. That ring of truth is about them, if you will,"
he concluded.

"Okay, release them to the media, and hand the evidence to Interpol
for authentication."
----
Actions:
1. Release news of the discovery of emails linking the Iranian
government to the attacks.
2. Release the emails to the media.
3. Hand the evidence to Interpol for authentication.
