Grand Ayatollah Moussavi-Ardebili who died today aged 91, was one of the pillars of the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran. For eight years between 1981-1989, as the head of Iran’s Supreme Court, he was the highest judicial authority in the Islamic Republic during the harshest years of the post-revolution religious dictatorship in Iran.
The massacre of political prisoners in Iran in 1988, took place when Mousavi-Ardebili was the head of the Supreme Court. More than 5000 political prisoners, some barely in their teens, who were sentenced to prison sentences and not execution, were summarily re-tried by kangaroo-courts and asked two simple questions, “do you believe in God?”, “Are you prepared to publicly denounce your political organisation?”. Unknown to the prisoners, if the answer to any of those two questions was “no”, they would be taken next door and executed. Their bodies were never returned to their families and were dumped in mass graves.
Moussavi-Ardebili in his later years however, was not the same man as he was in the 1980s. The huge burden of the guilt he suffered manifested itself in his later years.

Oh, boo-hoo-hoo. Roast in hell, fool.
I believe in redemption and the story about Sick in the Carter administration is chilling.
Funny how exclamations of that kind blow back on us.
Oh boo boo sorry about his luck speech to text what a deal!
The story about Sick is, in fact, sick. I remember the Jimmuh era — I had voted for the Jimmuh — and had never heard about this. I would have been “Down with Jimmuh” immediately if I had. Jimmuh bungled a lot of things — I could forgive bungles. But I couldn’t excuse something like this. Wicked!
Now we have Iran around to punish America for this folly. I don’t know what to make of it. I am reduced to praying for a miracle that we don’t deserve.
“Luck” is a word for people who don’t believe in God.
He had some part in this atrocity, and he isn’t excused for that. However maybe the actual God — rather than the hateful Allah — is starting to tap on his shoulder.
This is an era of miracles, I am persuaded. There would be few things better than to have this fellow actually play a helpful role in some kind of movement that, miraculously, topples the wickedness now in Iran.
The leftists hated the Shah when I was in Berkeley, I assume because of his suppression of the Communists. Used to regularly have demonstrations of “Down with the Shah!” Now look what they got. Iran was a paradise compared to what it became once the Shah was deposed.
He was given an half-hour on WPIX last year.
What on earth could the networks ever gain by this “Sick” spectacle? It’s like God has stiffened their necks so (which they wanted, after all) that they’re crowing their own wickedness before the world now.
There’s no excusing this. It was hidden during the Jimmuh era for understandable reasons. People would have gone ballistic on Jimmuh for it. Now Donald Trump is on the horizon and this is the reaction.
Even motion pictures, like the Baader Meinhof Complex, concede as much.
The revolution was to jump Iran out of the frying pan, into the blowtorch.
Lefties will save a puddle and lose the ocean.
