Too late. He’s already dead. Let’s try going after the live ones next time.

Meanwhile, Obama intends to invite members from the Iranian regime to barbeques at US embassies around the world on July 4th.

I sure hope they serve hot dogs at those barbeques...

Sophisticated Web users might know how to reduce this risk by adopting pseudonyms, masking the identity of their computers, and creating proxy servers that make information harder to trace to its source.

Maybe some freepers can help by posting "lists of methods" to twitter to help the protesters remain anonymous. My cracking days were long over decades ago.

That vid is also up on facebook and it is said by a doctor on site, that she was a km from demonstration and a sniper shot her in the heart.

This uprising was never about the election results, or Mousavi.

The mullahs’ theft of the election (for Ahmadinejad) was only the catalyst that ignited a much larger, deeper, and long-simmering craving for freedom by the Iranian people.

There is an extensive network of people building proxies and various software tools to allow Iranians to get around the gov’t roadblocks to accessing twitter.

It’s worth remembering that the former Shah of Iran left power peacefully when the masses turned against his government.

Thus, the charges made against him back then ring hollow since the group leading that revolution now urges the use of force against their masses to retain their power.

This photo of Barack the Muslim eating a pork product should go viral in the Islamic world. Send this to every Islamic website out there in the cyber world...

Large demonstrations in Europe (Paris and German cities) in support of Iranian people.

The American patriotic resistance movement should be on the streets of America doing the same. We've missed an important rallying point in time, I'm afraid.

Don’t forget Jimmy Carter tried to blackmail the Shah and wanted $$$$ for himself to help put the Shah back in power... to the Shah’s credit, he refused and to Carter’s discredit Iran fell into the hands of this regime.

Is this live streaming coverage ? Whoa ... lots of shooting. God bless and protect the freedom lovers.

Good morning, Star. Wow to that clip you posted. I saw it on FoxNews, but they cut off the sound so their anchors and guests could speak. Cutting off the sound completely diminishes the power and imact of this scene. Just wow. Maybe a second Iranian revolution is really underway.
