| Iran an aw that
So whos been following the Iranian election fallout? Obviously shady goings on with folk getting battered and shot etc but WAS IT A FIX?
From reading the papers you get the impression that the idea the results were faked is pretty much a fact, but there isn't that much evidence except that THE GUY THAT LOST is saying "how can this be?!" etc. I have only seen a single mention of the fact that a couple of american think tanks did fairly rigerous telephone polls of Iran 3 weeks ago and found Amedinejad had a 2 to 1 lead on Mousavi - thats consistent with the results.
Just seems this blogger-led "revolution" of the pro-western middle classes against a corrupt holocaust denying conservative is just too juicy a story to risk analysing too thoroughly for some papers.
