" These are mostly Amandinejad's supporters, of course. So it would not be surprising that he could find a collaborator to boost his "image" and to put fear into the heart of anyone who might not support him."

Of course. Who's going to tell him he's wrong, even if the guy was lying about being there last year?

Reminds me of that sequence in "Little Big Man" where Dustin Hoffman is introduced to Colonel Custer, who is reputed to be able to tell a man's occupation, just by looking at him:

Colonel: "This man is a mule skinner."

Flunkey: "How perceptive of you sir!"

Dustin to Flunkey, as they walk away: "But I'm not a mule skinner!"

Flunkey, "You are now".
