Tehran is dark, cold tonight, I can hear screams. scary #iranelection

– A tweet from mohamadreza one hour ago

I’ve been reading the news about the Iranian elections with growing angst. I find a few things particularly disturbing.

Unrest in Iran

1. Where is the mainstream media’s coverage of what’s going on in Iran? CNN has one minor article with 3 pictures on the topic. The article makes the entire situation seem like a small incident which will blow over by tomorrow. 
2. Cell phone networks seem to have been down following the election, and social networking sites like Facebook were blocked. The entire thing reeks of foul play.

Thanks to Behdad for posting the first real news I saw about the elections. Your post grabbed my eye when it hit Planet GNOME.
