The Boston Globe Disclaimer

The fact is, it stunned even me!

"EDITOR’S NOTE: Iranian authorities have barred journalists for international news organizations from reporting on the streets and ordered them to stay in their offices. This report is based on the accounts of witnesses reached in Iran and official statements carried on Iranian media."

Unreal!

Ever see them put that in front of an article about GAZA -- where REPORTERS are BANNED by ISRAEL?


The agenda-pushing BIAS is UNDENIABLE and UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

News of the partial recount comes as Ahmadinejad yesterday ordered an investigation of the killing of a woman on the fringes of a protest. Widely circulated video footage of Neda Agha Soltan bleeding to death on a Tehran street sparked outrage worldwide over authorities’ harsh response to demonstrations.

Ahmadinejad’s website said Soltan was slain by “unknown agents and in a suspicious’’ way, convincing him that “enemies of the nation’’ were responsible.

CNN: Iranian envoy: CIA involved in Neda's shooting?

You mean, LIKE ISRAEL DOES?


Tensions escalated Sunday when Iran announced it had detained nine local employees of the British Embassy on suspicion of fomenting or aiding protests. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi said yesterday that five of the Iranian embassy staffers had been released and the remaining four were being interrogated. Britain’s prime minister, Gordon Brown, said Iran’s actions were “unacceptable, unjustified, and without foundation.’’

What did you say, Brownie?
