So! ACORN is in Iran too. I did not know that.

Apparently we are not overjoyed by Ahmadijenad's victory. According to this headline,

US rejects victory claim by Iran's Ahmadinejad

I agree, it was refreshing to see debate.

But now what? The people have no power, obviously - all the candidates must be vetted by the theocracy - worse - the results might have been skewed but Ahmadijenad may still have won the most votes.

That bodes ill for our peace outreach.

Ha'aretz says Moussavi has been arrested:

Correction: spelling "Mousavi", sorry.

Oh this you've got to see:

a snippet:

Yes, the president of Iran's own election monitoring commission has declared the result invalid and called for a do-over.

LA Times has an intense story:

Note the reference to Hezbollah.
