FYI, Ganji is using the ayatollah's own words to point out the hypocrisy that rules supreme in Tehran these days. It would be the same thing as someone quoting the founding fathers to show how far we have fallen away from the ideal they were striving for when they gave us our current form of government.

I can think of one example: GUN CONTROL.

So, put away your childishness and read all of Ganji's writings before you relegate him to the trash heap. He is one who is not afraid to lay down his life for his beliefs - and to draw attention to the eggregious violations of human rights that are going on daily in Iran's prisons. The worst prison in the us is like a Sunday picnic by comparison.

Monday, August 8, 2005, (BBC) -- Iranian authorities have raided the house of the country's best-known dissident, Akbar Ganji, supporters and relatives of the jailed writer say. His daughter telephoned a family friend during the raid who described her as being "very terrified". Mr Ganji has been on a hunger strike for 59 days
