Iran has been relatively quiet the last two weeks as the regime sought to stamp out dissent and punish those involved in last month's uprising. In typical police state fashion government websites like the one below have been posting photos of protestors inviting people to name names. Here number 19 is marked "identified". Chilling.
But yesterday in cities across Iran people took to the streets again demonstrating that they won't be intimidated into silence. Here's some footage of a peaceful march in Tehran, that is until the clouds of CS gas roll in.
Am I the only one who thinks this story is far more compelling and newsworthy than the bickering over Michael Jackson's estate?

NO...you are NOT the only one. I was wondering if things were quiet in Iran because our media was OD'ing on Michael Jackson...or if things were really quiet in Iran! So glad the fight is still on over there.

Most American media continues to prove itself worthless.
