Mr. Ledeen's various paragraphs are very much at odds with each other. In some places he refers to "very large scale demonstrations," and later he describes "hundreds of Iranians" out for a night of partying.
And, of course, it's all a setup for the inevitable Ledeen Bush-bash.
It easier to see that the "hundreds of Iranians" line is a quote from Reuters reading the article at the NRO webpage due to the formatting and the paragraphing.
But, it is a Reuters quote, which he is critizing saying there were thousands.
Cheers.
Mr. Ledeen's various paragraphs are very much at odds with each other. In some places he refers to "very large scale demonstrations," and later he describes "hundreds of Iranians" out for a night of partying.The way the posting is formatted, it's difficult to tell which paragraphs are Ledeen and which are quotes from the Reuters story.
Generally speaking, the comments about the "hundreds" and the "partying" are from Reuters. The comments about "thousands" and "violent protests" are Ledeen.
