On September 22, 2003, an agent of Iran's Intelligence Ministry was charged with the murder of Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi. Commenting on the arrest, a spokesman from the prosecutor's office said "The crime is attributed to one of the [Intelligence Ministry] interrogators," and added that no government body was involved.

She was tortured and killed, and it was entirely the fault of some interrogator? Certainly not Iranian policy. I suppose you buy this? I have a feeling you don't.

Why is it the buck always stops at the top everywhere else, but always at the bottom in the U.S.?
