| Re: Iran an aw that
Just skimmed that aricle Les, but would you not need a bigger statistical sample than 116 numbers to run analysis of that type? I would think abberations in a sample that small would be quite likely. I'm more than willing to accept there is electoral fraud in Iran BTW, i just don't think it should be presumed from the off (as it was in the media).
On a related note: there was a lot of chatter about the "tell tale signs" of fraud - ie. the results being called so fast. Surely we should credit Amhedinejad with enough intelligence to not make this type of blatant error in hiding his theft - if theft it was. The guy is the leader of the most populous nation in the middle east, one of the most prominant voices in the developing world - he's not just some crackpot that goes "ah fuck it man just release the faked results now! I can't wait! The imperialists will never even notice!".
Also re: American hypocracy. I was reading (can't find the source) that there is still a couple of million dollahs in the American military budget that goes to fund Iranian terrorist groups destabalising the regime, which Obama hasn't changed.
