It's just too stupid.

why do you think it is fake?

Have you ever been asked about your comments you made on Clinton?

Have you ever been beaten for being with a girl out in the park?

I THINK IT IS YOU WHO IS FAKE, not that miserable people fighting for the very basic freedom you took for granted in the US.

Have you ever been chased by security forces? DO you know what it means to walk in the streets for hours cuz you have no where to go and hide?

And this story is not fake... the person's name who was arrested is FERESHTEH GHAZI

do a google search or check RSF.org website.

Admirable presentation. "I have written often and honestly about life in my country." Exactly. The presentation could not be more clearly honest and factual, leaving the reader to fill in the dots.

Iran is an old civilization, and even here you can see that the arresting officials and others are civilized in comparison with the way such an arrest would have gone under Saddam. But they have been turned toward evil ends because of the master they serve.

I think Iran can become a civilized nation again, if only the regime of the Mullahs can be thrown off. That can only be done, short of an invasion, by the Iranians themselves, but I trust we are willing to help and encourage an internal revolution in any way that we can.

It will be interesting to see what transpires in Iran in the next few years. From what I understand Iran has a huge population of young adults who do not remember the revolution and wish to become a more secular, modern nation with diplomatic ties to America and the West.

I hope that they get their wish and drive the Mullahs out.

Is that wise to give her proper name? Are the Iranian authorities aware that she wrote this piece after her arrest? If there's any doubt whatever, I suggest that you ask the Admin Moderator to delete the reply where you give her real name.

Farzami is the pseudonym of an Iranian journalist.

Not anymore.

Sorry, I did a Google search for FERESHTEH GHAZI and I see there are already numerous articles out there, so the identify of the writer is known in Iran.

To think that the liberal cry babies like Ward Churchill call America a fascist state while they support a place like Iran is totally ridiculous.They are the worst kind of hypocrite who condemns America while using its freedoms and protections to pay their respects to dictators and thugs who are the real fascists.If only we could switch the Ward Churchill's of America with the people who suffer real injustice in places like Iran could we right a wrong.These liberals don't deserve to live in such a great country.

Send Ward to Iran to practice his freedom and then we will see if he keeps saying BS or not

Do you think RSF can help her? Is she still in Iran?

The day that the Ward Churchill story broke I received my copy of David Horowitz's latest book, "Unholy Alliance". I am only half-way through it, but feel safe in recommending it. (I frist heard of the book on FR). Horowitz directly tears Noam Chomsky a new one - along with many other noted left wingers and anarchists. A very timely book. You can find reviews (as well a used copies) on Amazon.
