"Prison rape claims rearm critics of Iran government; Officials hint they may release Frenchwoman" by Borzou Daragahi, Los Angeles Times | August 13, 2009
BEIRUT - Iran’s legal system came under fresh criticism yesterday amid allegations of prisoner abuse and controversy over televised courtroom confessions, derided as “show trials’’ by domestic and international critics....
At least they have trials; America can't even do that with their show torture, 'er, terror trials.
A statement purported to have been signed by a group of Iranian judges harshly condemned the treatment of prisoners and the televised confessions of suspects, who allegedly were mistreated and held in solitary confinement for weeks without access to lawyers....
We got INNOCENT GUYS HELD YEARS at SECRET TORTURE SITES!
We bested ya again, Iranians!
Meanwhile, parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani dismissed as fabrications hyped by the Western media allegations that detained protesters had been sexually abused, a day after promising an investigation. The accusations surfaced this week in a letter written by a leading reformist politician....
Given the track record of the western media, you are forced to believe the Iranian by default.

Inside Iran's Jails
Besides, the sick sex shit sounds like something the Jew or the Christian would do, not a Muslim.
Iran’s political factions have been jostling for power following Ahmadinejad’s disputed election win and ensuing weeks of civil unrest. Protesters took to the Tehran bazaar yesterday in an attempt to hold an unauthorized rally but were thwarted by what witnesses described as a heavy presence of uniformed and plainclothes security officials....
It's over, Globe. It's over. The coup attempt failed.

"West is warily awaiting Ahmadinejad’s next move" by Brian Murphy, Associated Press | August 14, 2009
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - In a speech to officially begin his second term last week, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran gave what amounted to the regime’s official world view: Iran deserves respect as a globe-shaping power and can withstand any pressures the West can apply.
Yes they do. That means calling off the covert terrorism against them, 'bamer.
But what he left out were any hints of how Iran’s global strategies will cope with the backwash from the internal political tempests, a backwash that has left Ahmadinejad hobbled, the ruling theocracy feeling uncomfortably challenged, and opposition groups digging in for a long battle.
Isn't that a chutzpah of a kettle Zionist MSM hollering pot?
Few expect Iran to significantly retool its foreign policies in the aftermath of the disputed June 12 elections. But specialists say the country will be closely watched for telltale signs of shifts....
Ahmadinejad plans to be on President Obama’s home turf next month for the United Nations General Assembly....
Obama's home turf is the UN? He IS the FIRST TRULY GLOBALIST PRESIDENT!!
He may still carry the outward swagger as in his past annual stops in New York. This time, though, he also will probably try for damage control to his image....
You should take the insults the Zionist press hurls and apply them to USrael.
THEN it would be TRUE REPORTING!
Certainly Ahmadinejad has been left bruised and diminished by the election, which millions say he stole through clumsily rigged results. Even some conservatives are turning their backs on his apparent support for a merciless crush-or-be-crushed strategy against the opposition.
Sigh. I'm sick of the lying revisions and rewrites of history from the j**spaper.
But.... Iran’s main spy agency - a vital tool in battling dissent - and could also provide a possible character study for the bumpy times ahead. Ahmadinejad has shown no hesitation to flex his authoritarian clout in the early moments of his second term.
With ALL the DISSENSION and PROTEST (so you say, MSM), how authoritarian can the guy really be? Hey, what is ONE MORE JU LY, huh?
The pretext of an ongoing political crisis could give him even more room to test his limits....
As if the Iranian leadership brought the commotion upon themselves to destroy their tranquil society. Pfffft!!!
Take a stroll down my Iran file and see what you find, folks.
