More about Iran

It turns out that the faked pictures from the missile launch were even more fake than people thought, some of them were from a launch two years ago, and they have started an entire internet meme. I'll put one or two of the pics at the bottom. They are all from these links. The (hot) Iranian student who showed up on the cover of The Economist 9 years ago and was imprisoned and tortured for his protests is in the States and the magazine has a follow up with him that details what he went through. If you feel any instinct to get culturally superior while you are reading his story, look at the news about a secret report from the Red Cross on our activities. I'm not commenting because once I start I wouldn't stop. An Iranian leftist student and blogger has been imprisoned recently, as well.
