Yeah, I thought it had that propaganda smell to it -- like all their other agenda-pushing, coup-supporting PoS.
"Tehran professors denounce violence" by Associated Press | January 5, 2010
TEHRAN - Nearly 90 professors at Tehran University have told Iran’s supreme leader that ongoing violence against protesters shows the weakness of the country’s leadership, a proreform website reported yesterday, reflecting a growing willingness to risk careers and studies to challenge the ruling clerics.
The rumblings from universities highlight the evolution of the opposition movement. What began as raw and angry voter backlash after last June’s disputed presidential election has moved to a possibly deeper and more ingrained fight against Iran’s Islamic leaders.

Attack has been pushed back a few months, 'eh?
The letter signed by the 88 instructors was issued as university students around Iran staged acts of defiance - including hunger strikes and exam boycotts - to protest.... The government stepped up its accusations that the West is fomenting Iran’s postelection turmoil, saying that foreign nationals were among those arrested in the most recent clashes.
We did it before!
Officials did not provide the nationalities of those arrested, but accused the foreigners of leading a propaganda war and warned they face possible death sentences for seeking to topple the system. Opposition groups say....
It is SAD when you must BELIEVE the "enemy" in your newspaper, world -- because IT is the TRUTH!!!
--more--"
Either way, they have POISONED and RUINED the TRUST in the RELATIONSHIP, readers.
And the SHELL GAME CENSORSHIP with the articles isn't helping!
My PRINTED PAPER:
TEHRAN, Iran --Iran said Tuesday it welcomes Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's comments that there is no hard-and-fast deadline for starting nuclear dialogue.
Was SHE DRINKING AGAIN!?
Getting off message, ain't you, Hil? Or has the invasion been pushed back?
The didn't misquote you, did they?
On Monday, Clinton said the Obama administration remained open to negotiating with Iran over its nuclear program, though it will move toward tougher sanctions if Iran does not respond positively. She stressed there was no hard-and-fast deadline for Iran.
Responding Tuesday, Iran's foreign ministry welcomed the comments "We share the same idea with her. Deadlines are meaningless. We hope other countries return to their natural path, too," said Ramin Mehmanparast, a foreign ministry spokesman. The remarks were a rare positive response by the Iranians to U.S. comments on its nuclear program....
How does one respond positively to lies?
In her comments Monday, Clinton also said the administration was appalled by the Iranian government's crackdowns on street protests -- which she described as "mounting signs of ruthless repression."
Yeah, she did have a few nips.
********************************
Mehmanparast rejected these Clinton remarks. "Westerners are following those who do not represent the Iranian people," he said. "A mistake that some western countries commit is that they, with political intentions, are after those who support chaos and outrages."
Yeah, I believe the term is "terrorism."
Iran regularly accuses western countries -- mostly the United States and Britain -- of supporting unrest in Tehran....
With JUST CAUSE, 'eh, readers?
And what my printed piece cut:
The intelligence ministry list includes George Soros' Open Society Institute, the Washington-based National Endowment for Democracy, the National Democratic Institute, the International Republican Institute, the Brookings Institution and U.S. National Defense University. The list also includes TV networks like BBC Persian and Voice of America in Farsi as well as the East European Democratic Center in Poland and the British nonprofit Wilton Park.
Look at 'em all!!!
ALL SPY COVER, isn't it?
And rather than get the PEACE POOP of Hitlery -- she must have spoken out of turn for the article to have been pulled from the web version -- we get this s***-slop in its place!
"Iran’s nuclear hide-outs lift fears; Tunneling makes US plans difficult" by William J. Broad, New York Times | January 6, 2010
No one in the West knows how much how much, or exactly what part, of Iran’s nuclear program lies hidden.
Or IF they EVEN HAVE ONE, 'eh, NYT!!!

Memo to the New York Times:
1. Last Spring, Rose Gottemoeller, an assistant secretary of state and Washington's chief nuclear arms negotiator, asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel refused.
2. The United Nations passed a resolution calling on Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused.
3. The IAEA asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused.
4. Iran's formal notification to the IAEA of the planned construction of the backup fuel-rod facility underscores that Iran is playing by the rules of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which Iran has signed.
5. Iran allows IAEA inspections of all its facilities.
6. Contrary to face-saving claims, it appears that the US and Israel were both caught off guard by Iran's announcement. The reasoning is simple. Had the US or Israel announced the existence of he new facility before Iran's notified the IAEA, it would have put Iran on the defensive. As it is now, the US and Israel seem to be playing catch up, casting doubt on the veracity of Israel's claims to "know" that Iran is a nuclear threat.
7. The IAEA and all 16 United States Intelligence Agencies are unanimous in agreement that Iran is not building and does not possess nuclear weapons.
8. In 1986, Mordachai Vanunu blew the whistle and provided photographs showing Israel's clandestine nuclear weapons factory underneath the reactor at Dimona.
9. Israel made the same accusations against Iraq that it is making against Iran, leading up to Israel's bombing of the power station at Osirik. Following the invasion of 2003, international experts examined the ruins of the power station at Osirik and found no evidence of a clandestine weapons factory in the rubble.
10. The United Nations has just released the Goldstone Report, a scathing report which accuses Israel of 37 specific war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza earlier this year. Israel has denounced the report as "Anti-Semitic (even though Judge Goldstone is himself Jewish), and the United States will block the report from being referred to the War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague, thereby making the US Government an accessory after-the-fact.
We all need to be Joe Wilson right now. We need to stand up and scream, "LIAR!" at every politician and every talking media moron that is pushing this war in Iran. And we need to keep dong it until they get the message that we will not be deceived any more.
Israel wants to send your kids off to die in Iran, and YOU are the only one that can stop them.
