GINGRICH, Newt, 1943-; SPIES; TRIALS (Law); ZENDEDEL, Hedayatolah; CIVIL engineers; PASSPORTS

This article focuses on the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich. Hedayatolah Zendedel, a prominent Jewish Iranian land developer and civil engineer, was arrested by the Teheran regime. Zendedel was placed on trial with five others for being a spy for the United States and Israel--and for smuggling arms, bribing officials, forging passports, smoking opium and drinking alcoholic beverages. The Zendedel trial comes at a time when Iran is engaged in a vigorous hunt for U.S. spies--a hunt caused by Newt Gingrich. Gingrich can pretend he's a geostrategist deftly pulling strings; he doesn't have to face the wrath of Iranian security. Unfortunately, Zendedel and others do.
