There can be no question that the June 12, 2009 Iranian presidential election was stolen. Dissident employees of the Interior Ministry, which is under the control of President Ahmadinejad and is responsible for the mechanics of the polling and counting of votes, have reportedly issued an open letter saying as much. Government polls (one conducted by the Revolutionary Guards, the other by the state broadcasting company) that were leaked to the campaigns allegedly showed ten- to twenty-point leads for Mousavi a week before the election; earlier polls had them neck and neck, with Mousavi leading by one per cent, and Karroubi just behind.

Incredible stuff.
I love to see passion for democracy. The videos coming out of Iran remind me of watching TV in 1989 during the Tianamen Square protests.
Apparently, the big guys who sit above the government are going to launch an investigation, whatever that means.
Still, that;s some serious distrust going on over there.
Definitely not a tea party.
Tianamen did not turn out well. This is not a dmeocratic country.
