A judiciary official says tribunals will process hundreds of 'rioters' and 'thugs' caught in security sweeps during the unrest after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was reelected president.

In the old Soviet Union, those who protested were called “hooligans” and were often shipped off to the mental hospitals. The Iranian theocratic mafia is following a great tradition.

I’m sure all those assclowns here and abroad who got their shorts in a knot over Camp Gitmo and the military tribunals will really be upset over this. No doubt they’ll be protesting day and night. Senator Little Dick Durbin will surely take to the Senate floor to decry the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and compare them to Soviet Gulag guards, Nazis and Pol Pot murderers. Any moment now...

Take 'em DOWN, Iranians.

I want to see Ahmadinejad ARRESTED.

I want to see Khameini FLEE and have to spend the rest of his life in exile.

Turn the tables and put the hardliners on trial.

GO IRAN!

At the very least. I prefer them getting the Saddam or Ceaucescu treatment.

When the guilty verdicts are rendered, the only question will be whether the convicted wind up hanging from cranes or simply disappear.

I imagine the same thing would happen here in the USA if people took to the streets demanding the “Birth Certificate”
