All the caution has been thrown into the wind when it comes to reporting from Iran. Finding that more people voted in some voting districts (not towns, as reported), is nothing unusual. It is not that the vote exceeds the registered voters, it just exceeds the number of people voting in the same district in the previous election. Iranian voter can be registered elsewhere, but vote in the place of their current residence. Ahmedinejad was predicted a winner by every poll conducted before election, and by 2:1 margin. Extending the time for examination was an astute move. All it will do is to expose other color revolutionaries hidden deeply in the Rafsanjani's network.

I'm surprised how many people here are guzzling the NeoCon Kool-Aid, when it comes to Mousavi. Especially considering that the NeoCon Timmerman admits financing him.

I expected more from Antiwar.com.

Mousavi seems to be following the American way of propaganda…repeat a 'statement' so many times that it becomes difficult to deny it. He hasn't yet supported the accusation with hard evidence, but simply called for the election annulment.

I wonder if the situation was reversed (that is Ahmedinejad had lost and his supporters were rioting), what would the US say. They would demand hard proof, and call Ahmedinejad a bad looser.
