Right wing "science" project.

Practically any decent psychologist could come up with a study that can show such results based upon questions that can be established that will be interpreted the "correct" way.

Pseudoscience if more like it.

This was a longitudinal study with subjects in a lab setting, not questionnaires.

We are not giving Iran anything. These assets of Iranians were locked down
by America and its allies for no good reason other than to pressure them to
allow inspections of their nuclear programme. It's THEIR MONEY.

Now, that they might use this money for other nefarious purposes is a legitimate concern.
You believe Iran. Really believe?

Of course not. That's why we have the IAEA inspections.

Funny how we act as if we're doing Iran a big favor by giving them their own money.

It's called propaganda and it works because the majority of Americans just believe what they are told.

It is indeed Iran's money and the vast majority of it has been frozen by foreign central banks who have now agreed to release Iran's money. As I understand it, a substantial percentage of these funds will be offset by debts owed.

Last week there was a thread that relied on misinformation to create the perception the US was bailing out Iran with taxpayer money and the US was the laughing stock of the world. It was apparent many did not understand that China, Russia, EU, France, Germany and the U.K. all agreed to the deal.

The few $ million Iranian assets frozen in the US did not make much of a difference.

Yup. And when it comes to keeping tabs on nuclear programs in countries beginning with "Ira", IAEA has so far scored considerably better than US intelligence agencies, so...
