There is a full effort of the "western" media and some expatriate Iranian organizations to de-legitimize the Iranian election despite the absence of any real evidence of voting fraud. These events show all characteristics of an engineered "color evolution".
As said before I find the reelection of Ahmadinejad quite plausible. He has done a lot for the poor and the elections were for a decent part class based. As Robert Fisk relates from someone not-regime-friendly in Tehran: [read more...]

Initially this website was taken in by reports alleging a potential landslide win for Mousavi. It soon became apparent however, that the Western mainstream media was acting in unison over the Iranian election.

It’s anyone’s guess where this will lead but it’s as well to be wary of disinformation dressed up as ‘journalism’.
