Killing Words
In Iran, the daily Kayhan characterized yesterday's hearings as "revealing the proofs of the treason of Khatami and Moussavi". Yup. Treason. The big T. The death sentence by any ready hand. Any bearded moron or group of bearded morons from the sticks is now free to hit the former president and the former prime minister, with anything from an assault rifle to stones.
Kayhan continues: "The leaders of the plotters are corrupt, the authors of impardonable crimes, notably the murder of innocents and cooperation with foreign enemies, but one cannot be content to judge and punish the second hands. If one doesn't act seriously against the (unindicted, viz Khatami and Moussavi) instigators of the troubles, they will continue their conspiracies."
Meanwhile, in the other West Asian religious loony bin, the years of public faggot baiting by the "religious" paid off big time, with a masked man taking an automatic weapon to a gay and lesbian center in Tel Aviv and killing a 26 year old man and a 16 year old girl and wounding another 13 persons before running off.
