A strongly worded U.N. letter urges Iran to cooperate, or else it will send even more strongly worded letter.

The U.N. nuclear watchdog chief pressed Iran on Friday to "accelerate" cooperation with his agency so he can shed more light on Tehran's controversial atomic program and its aims.

Mohamed ElBaradei, who heads the International Atomic Energy Agency, said he asked Iran's government for better transparency regarding the country's nuclear activities.

In case you missed it last week, three Iranian speed boats played chicken with the US Navy. Apparently there are competing versions of what really went down, and they're both on YouTube - I guess. Isn't it odd how both sides were videotaping this thing? Now I have to play Rashamon to figure out how we just dodged starting a shooting war with Iran? Welcome to the 21st century gang. If you go anywhere - bring your camcorder.
