Iran's Intelligence Minister Announces Some Protesters "Will Not Be Released"

Outstanding. They can continue the "robust debate" they've been having with their jailers/torturers indefinintely.

According to BBC Persian, Gholam Hossein Mohseni-Ejeie, the minister of intelligence, just introduced a new criteria for prosecuting arrested individuals.
Ejeie divided up the arrested individuals into three groups. “Those who participated and had a hand in the decision-making process regarding the recent events will remain in custody until a decision is made…The other group consists of anti-revolutionary demonstrators who took advantage of the situation. These individuals have been arrested and will not be freed.” The third group, according to Ejeie, “is those who have been influenced by the atmosphere. This group will be released if not already released.”
In addition, Ejeie indicated that a new tribunal will be set up shortly to prosecute the arrested demonstrators.

12 OT but I'm sick to death of every story on Honduras claiming it was a military coup. Pravda seems to avoid the fact that he was trying to set himself up as a dictator for life and their congress and Supreme Court stopped him. He's been invited back to the country on the condition that he is no longer president. They obviously see the danger this guy poses to their democracy. Good thing Barry is 100% behind this Chavez wannabe clown.

19 Well, on the bright side, the World appears ready for the establishment of the First Progressive Empire:

US President Barack Obama has the confidence of many publics around the world - inspiring far more confidence than any other world political leader according to a new poll of 20 nations by WorldPublicOpinion.org. A year ago, President Bush was one of the least trusted leaders in the world.

(Official White House Photo)

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin now have the most negative confidence ratings around the world. On average across all nations about half have little or no confidence that they will "do the right thing regarding world affairs" while just a third or less do have confidence.

WorldPublicOpinion.org conducted the poll of 19,224 respondents in nations that comprise 62 percent of the world's population. This includes most of the largest nations--China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Russia--as well as Mexico, Germany, Great Britain, France, Poland, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Kenya, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, the Palestinian territories, and South Korea. Publics were also polled in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. The margins of error range from +/-3 to 4 percent.

WorldPublicOpinion.org, a collaborative research project involving research centers from around the world, is managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) at the University of Maryland. The survey was conducted between April 4 and June 12, 2009, prior to Obama's speech in Cairo but subsequent to his Ankara speech.

An average of 61 percent express a lot or some confidence in Obama to do the right thing in world affairs, across the nineteen nations polled (excluding the US). Thirty-one percent say they have not too much or no confidence at all. In 13 nations, a majority or plurality has confidence in Obama; in five nations they do not; one nation is divided. A majority of the American public (70%) also expresses confidence in Obama in world affairs.

No other leader has the confidence of more than an average of 40 percent across the publics polled. For most leaders, more express a lack of confidence than express confidence.

"At this moment Obama occupies a unique position in the eyes of the world" observes Stephen J. Weber of WorldPublicOpinion.org. "His communication skills and the change he represents create an open door for him to engage people around the world."

President Ahmadinejad has the confidence of an average of only 28 percent across the 20 nations, while 49 percent do not have confidence in the Iranian leader. Fourteen nations have a negative view, lead by the US (84%) Germany (81%), France (79%), and South Korea (67%). The public in six nations express confidence in Ahmadinejad led by two majority-Muslim nations; Pakistan (75%) and the Palestinian territories (57%). However, other majority-Muslim nations express a lack of confidence, including Iraq (56%), Azerbaijan (59%), Egypt (57%), and Turkey (48%). Indians also lean positive (42 to 30%) about Ahmadinejad.

Russian Prime Minister Putin has the confidence of publics in five nations (the lowest of any leader tested), but in 14 the public has little confidence. On average across 19 nations other than Russia, 34 percent of the public expresses confidence and 50 percent do not. Critics of Putin include France (78% little confidence), Poland (76%), Germany (72%), and the US (69%) as well as all of the nations of the Middle East that were polled.

I was just at the doctor and I asked him why it took me several days to get in to see me bacause I am on "the List'. He said that he has had even had to stay late to get all his patients in because there are a lot of stress induce illnesses right now. I asked if it had to do with people losing their house or home, and he told me that it maily has to do with losing their country. You have to understand, my doc and I talk about politics and he never really reveals himself except to say he is a staunch supporter of our military. You could tell it is starting to get him down.

Wrong on Iran, Pal., Honduras, and wrong on Somali terrorists government

http://tinyurl.com/ng7etl

The U.S. government has provided about 40 tons of weapons and ammunition to shore up the besieged government of Somalia in the past six weeks and has sent funding to train Somali soldiers, a senior State Department official said yesterday, in the most complete accounting to date of the new American efforts in the strife-torn country.

The official, who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity, said the military aid was worth less than $10 million and had been approved by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and the National Security Council.

No. 51, David:

We are against torture. For the record, enhanced interrogation methods such as waterboarding do not constitute torture.

By the way, when writing a personal pronoun, the rules of the English language require you to capitalize. Thus, when referring to yourself you need to say I not i. (Just a friendly reminder from the Grammar Gestapo).
