More than 100 reformists, including the brother of former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami, were arrested Saturday night, leading reformist Mohammad Ali Abtahi told Reuters.
Reports that Mousavi was under house arrest could not be confirmed, but the 67-year-old former prime minister has not been seen in public since he gave a late night press conference Friday where he accused the government of voter fraud.
Let’s see how Mr. "Hope & Change" responds to this.
The whole world is watching! The whole world is watching! The whole world is watching!

Maybe they broke the traffic rules, as per Ahmedinajam.
He won’t.
Although, to be sure, when that happens, the "leadership" usually tries to pick an external fight to unite the country against the "new external" threat. Get the popcorn.
I truly believe that these same fascist tactics could become a reality, in the United States of America before too long under this Administration.
God Help America.
I know ImaNutJob is bad news but it was pretty funny seeing him dismiss Amanpour as irrelevant in the way he answered her questions.
This is now getting SERIES - it could be HUGH! LOL.
Mr. “Hope & Change” needs to be careful and keep his mouth shut on this for a while.
A sure fire way for Mr. NutJob to consolidate the country is to divert attention away from the fraud and to “meddling” of the US. We are a hated wedge in that region and need to let these guys throw over their government without us involved.
The Mullahs, by so blatantly stealing this election to support the evil dwarf, Adolf Jr., has unmistakably exposed themselves for the corrupt, evil, tryrants they are. This has had the added benefit of splitting the ruling class and separating Rafsanjani's gang from the Mullahs.
It's like the perfect storm for blowing up a country. Most people aren't aware that Iran is 50% Persian and 50% other ethnic groups: Azeris, Arabs, Turkmen, Armenians, Kurds and others. It's like a mini-Soviet Union. Watch for the Azeri's or Kurd's to breakaway. They have the numbers, the will and the possibility of outside support from their ethnic Azeri and Kurd brothers. Then, you'll know this is serious.

Lieberman Statement on Iran
Much stronger than anything coming out of the White House:
“Over the last six months, we have witnessed free and fair elections in Iraq and Lebanon, in which millions of people peacefully went to the polls, and in both cases, the Iranian-backed forces of extremism were decisively rejected at the ballot box.
“Unfortunately, on Friday, the Iranian people were denied this right, enjoyed by Iraqis and Lebanese and so many other peoples throughout the world, to determine the future of their country for themselves. Instead, through intimidation, violence, manipulation, and outright fraud, the Iranian regime has once again made a mockery of democracy, and confirmed its repressive and dictatorial character.
“We as Americans have a responsibility to stand in solidarity with people when they are denied their rights by repressive regimes. When elections are stolen, our government should protest. When peaceful demonstrators are beaten and silenced, we have a duty to raise our voices on their behalf. We must tell the Iranian people that we are on their side.
“For this reason, I would hope that President Obama and members of both parties in Congress will speak out, loudly and clearly, about what is happening in Iran right now, and unambiguously express their solidarity with the brave Iranians who went to the polls in the hope of change and who are now looking to the outside world for strength and support.”
The Demoncrats should observe Iran about how to really steal an election.
Should be something like, "Taught him everything he knows...especially 'Don't forget to prosecute your competitor after the election is over.'"
fyi
Elections like these are coming soon to a nation near you. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
