Ali Gharib, New York-based journalist on U.S. foreign policy and LobeLog writer, discusses his article that challenges the conventional wisdom about Iranian interference in Iraq (supposedly verified by the WikiLeaks revelations), the New York Times’ (and former Judith Miller collaborator) Michael Gordon’s career transition from ginning up war with Iraq to writing inflammatory articles on Iran, the rapidly changing negotiations on seating a coalition government in Iraq and how the NYT gives front page coverage to thinly sourced screeds against Iran and saves the exculpatory evidence for page 17.

Grossman would brag, “We just fax to our people at the New York Times. They print it under their names.”

Scott, you keep referring to EFPs as they have "copper cores". It is a piece of PVC pipe packed with explosives with a copper plate sealing of one side. There is no copper core, but just a concave disc with explosives behind it.
On a general note, "tech" to make these armor piercing devices have been around since world war 1, and was used extensively in WW2. It is nothing exotic or advanced, and it "know how" does not need to be taught by IRGC, it is basic guerilla warfare knowledge and the standard way of making improvised armor piercing weapons since ww1.
