“Really you’re straining at gnats and swallowing a camel. The very best eyewitness has inconsistencies - that’s what keeps defense attorneys employed. You’ve got a camera eyewitness and you’re still not satisfied.”
There are enough people who are not Iranian operatives who have questions about the incident. There is nothing wrong with examining it. Do you really think that Mousavi is not capable of faking something to keep the fire going?
Of course he is.
Is this faked? I don’t know. To me, there appears to be something in a hand that turns out is probably her hand. Perhaps the illusion is because her hand is curled. Is this a legitimate event. I don’t know the answer to that. I think it is but there is nothing wrong with examining it. Hell, look at how many different opinions there are about the infamous JFK film that was a camera eyewitness.
It is a good thing to question anything that could be used as propaganda.
Is Mousavi that much better than the current Nut Job?
Doubtful.
Perhaps he will be worse.
People were determined to get rid of George Bush. Anyone was better than GWB according to many.
Look what they got instead.
This may or may not be a destabilizing moment like 1979. Mass movements like this are completely unpredictable.
But regardless of the motive, I don't see how this could be faked. I don't see how you can have blood in your eye and not blink, or have blood fill up your nose and mouth and not cough or spray the blood, or keep your eyes fixed and let them glaze over for an extended period of time.
