So much for 24 hour News - Iran erupting and CNN barely noting; MSNBC not at all - bloggers...

If breaking news would favor the right, probably blogs and twitter are your best hope. What you won't see on PMSNBC or CNN:

On twitter: try #iranelection or #iranelections

Foreign reporters are told to leave Iran. The government is not going to renew the visas.

“It is believed that the regular army would probably side with the people.”

Let us pray that that is the case here in the United States, when the time comes.

From the BBC site above:

John Simpson
Reporting from Tehran
A crowd of about 3,000 attacked the police, some of whom were on motorbikes, which they set on fire.

The sky was thick with black smoke. Police attacked the crowd with sticks and maybe teargas.

I didn’t expect to see people turning on the secret police. We were filming when we were surrounded by angry secret policemen. The crowd turned on them and chased them off.

I suspect we are not looking at a revolution but there is serious anger.

It all depends on how the government responds - if they use violence, that could inflame the situation.

Where is Twitter "located"? I am very concerned about this.

I seem to recall George Bush telling US that freedom is something all people desire, and that it is slowly ‘breaking out’ in the Middle East (maybe it was that rasca,l Carl Rove, who said it was slowly breaking out, but what the hey ...). Almighty Lord, please help these yearning people to have their freedom, so that some/many/all if possible turn to you for their eternal salvation. Such a bold people the Persians. Too long buffeted by the demons, even in Daniel’s time!
