Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi has rejected a government proposal to conduct a partial recount of presidential election votes - again insisting that the results be annulled.

In a statement on his Web site, Mr. Mousavi questioned the impartiality and fairness of the proposed panel that would conduct the recount.

Iran's Guardian Council had offered to randomly recount 10 percent of the ballots from the June 12 vote that members of the opposition allege was rigged.

I hard this last week. Just how old is the story that VOA is just getting around to reporting? More government efficiency.

Also, his site was taken down and hacked to leave a blank page when he was placed on house arrest.

I really don’t understand the networks portrayal of Mousavi as a reformer. All candidates for office have to be vetted and approved by the Mullahs. He would not be a transformational figure in Iranian politics. Until the Mullahs are removed from power nothing much will change there.

Think when communications are 'secure' and things are quieter; Mousavi will be taken on a long, one-way ride.

Meantime, just heard that several British Embassy personnel have been arrested for their 'participation' in uprising. Of course, we had none there; but think, thanks to Obama; our American Reps are on the way.

Another stupid pet trick from Obama. . .perhaps they will delay their departure?
