Ayatollah Boroujerdi Revolts - Calls for Uprising

News from Iran is getting more interesting. Boroujerdi seems akin to Sistani in his desire to divide the mosque from the state. Reuters has a brief piece up and Radio Free Europe has a piece with some depth.

It ain't exactly Paul Revere and Thomas Paine but the downside is just a dead ayatollah. We might as well wish him good luck.

BTW - Don't look for coverage from the dictator bootlicking Mediacrats or their foreign allies to be any better than that thin Reuter's piece - there's access to protect. Just as there is in Thailand, where the truth about the coup is kept carefully in the background.

I have reason to believe Ledeen doesn't believe this story is true.
