A letter rumored to be written by opposition leader Mir-Hossein Mousavi 20 years ago has resurfaced and is lighting up Iran's blogosphere. Omid Memarian on why the letter could open decades of dark secrets and bitter rivalries.

Hidden away for more than 20 years, a mystery letter suddenly reappeared last week.

The letter, supposedly written by a Tehran insider turned opposition leader, was explosive: it alleged that Iran sponsors terrorism abroad.

Like a middle manager ignored by his bosses, the letter writer expressed frustration that he was kept in the dark about Iran's involvement in events that he described as “operations abroad.”

I would be more concerned that the country was mired in islam.

The letter “alleged that Iran sponsored terrorism abroad”? If anyone in the world doesn’t already know this, they must have been in a coma.

This means that they will disclose what is already known, such as the terrorist connections and the support by Israel to Iran during the Iran-Iraq war http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_support_for_Iran_during_the_Iran–Iraq_war

“Sean Penn...”

Well, to be fair, I don’t think that being delusional is really the same as being in a coma.
