More Leaking Of The Results
From the Guardian:
Robert Tait, the Guardian's former Tehran correspondent, has been
poring over leaked reports of the official results, allegedly leaked
by disaffected officials.
He and our diplomatic editor Julian Borger write: "The figures have
been accompanied by claims from interior ministry sources that fake
statistics were fed into a software program and then distributed to
vote counts among polling stations to produce a plausible outcome. The
same sources have also claimed that the interior ministry's statements
announcing the results were prepared before Friday night's count."
Such claims are being reported on websites that Iran is frantically
trying to block, according to our blogs editor, Kevin Anderson. He
explains the cat-and-mouse game between the authorities and internet
users.
From Marty Peretz:
Maybe the regime fiddled around a bit with the numbers at the polls and
after the polling. Still, the outcome had a sense of
authenticity.
Even I am a little taken aback by the neocons' desire for an Ahmadinejad victory.
