Isn't it interesting that the left gets their conspiracy theories from Islamofascists!

"Maybe if the relatives of Kazemi had not made into such a big political issue it could have been resolved a lot quicker and more to their liking"

Callous by Khatami? Yes. Untrue? No. He is, most definitely, talking not only about what happened to Kazemi, but to any person who would dare make a 'political issue' of what the mullahs and their goons do in Iran.

I guess quite a few in Harvard won't and never have loved him.

The problem with most intellectuals, especially of the untouchable kind, is that they never allow or volunteer themselves to be part of the practical reality. If they did, often, they'd have to seriously reconsider their models, concepts and pie-in-the-sky ambitions.

An Iranian in the audience questioned [Former Iranian President Mohammed Khatami] about an egregious case of the suppression of free speech: the arrest, rape and murder of Canadian-Iranian journalist Zahra Kazemi.
....
"Maybe if the relatives of Kazemi had not made into such a big political issue it could have been resolved a lot quicker and more to their liking."
So it's the fault of the relatives who wanted to see a murderer brought to justice.

Well, then it's all okay, since when the Twelfth Imam returns "there will be justice where there had been injustice."

You have it backwards. Islamofascists get their news rrom US Leftists. The Grand Mufti's love affair with Hitler has now become a conspiracy of convenience between the
American left and Al Quida.
