		<description>Why, (as seen on a CNN video) a truck dumped a load of rocks / stones among the Tehran supporters of Mousavi (to be used as weapons against the riot police ?). Who were behind the dumping? Didn&#8217;t they know the punishment for such an act (according Iranian Constitution)  is death (by hanging)? 
 
Can Ben Menache, (an Israeli author) be believed claiming, in 1980s, one of Mousavi&#8217;s friends was a CIA agent? Or is there any credibility on the (Internet) allegations of his ties with Mossad? 
 
And the big question...... was the June 9 prediction of Voice of America similar to NIE, trying to foil an ugly uprising... and why VOA continues to indirectly discredit the mass media who are still shouting &#8220;..widespread rigging, election fraud&#8221;? 
 
Western and Iranian government pollsters new what Americans knew.  Was there a need to rig the election? With such a wide margin....obviously not. 
 
The intentional trashing and ridiculing of the &#8220;Iranian Election&#8221; by Western corporate mass media was unified and  well coordinated ......who is the coordinator?  </description>

		<description>It would be great if  the author or Gareth Porter, or any other trusted Antiwar contributor shed a light on:  
 
Why, UNLIKE the Western mass Media,   THREE DAYS before the election, Voice of America,(referring to two US pollsters), accurately guessed a resounding victory for Ahmadinejed? (ratio of 34 to 14) 
 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.payvand.com/news/09/jun/1085.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.payvand.com/news/09/jun/1085.html&lt;/a&gt; 
 
Why Mousavi, even before the counting began declared victory, heating up the atmosphere and raising the unrealistic hopes of his supporters who are rightfully fed up with their backward regime ?
