#1 The Iranian intelligence service is also very Internet active. These "Ayatollah Bugs" not only try to monitor and supress Iranian dissent inside and outside of Iran, but now have begun to interfere with anti-Iranian government discussion threads to defend the Iranian government. This is not an easy task, as you might imagine, so they usually just say that "everything is fine in Iran" and post a few links (the same ones) from apologists in the western press. They Deja-Google USENET looking for any anti-Iranian government thread, if you would like to meet one, and I would not be surprised if one shows up here.

#2 I wrote here at Rantburg last summer how I got good, old fashioned drunk with two Iranians at an Irish pub in Chicago after the Manchester Utd soccer game.

One was Iranian-American, the other Iranian-Swedish. Great guys, good sense of humor. Normal.

This is why this stuff pisses me off. It's not enough the Mullahs ruin Iran but they have to chase down Iranians around the globe, too?

Re-elect W and let's help clean out Iran from Islamist scum.
