Turkey, or Iran? He has given conflicting reports. And who is his Mossad liaison?

I'm no specialist, but that looks like a salamander to me. Monitors have narrower heads and claws rather than stubby toes:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_lizardhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SalamanderThat's reason enough to ditch it from the logo.I think a monitor lizard ripping the flesh from a vampire squid would be an excellent logo choice, but it is hard to do as a silhouette...
