"Mounds of proof” against SAVAK and yet none is produced. Because of the liberal sources?"
"SAVAK's torture methods included electric shock, whipping, beating, inserting brokon glass and pouring boiling water into the rectum, tying weights to the testicles, and the extraction of teeth and nails. Many of these activities were carried out without any institutional checks."

From Global Security's website. Would you call them a left wing organization? You can delude yourself with the your own world beliefs. Most of us would rather live in the real world, rather than the one we want it to be. Perhaps if you were Iranian and had a relative that had been tortured with these methods just because they protested against the Shah, you might not be so sad to see him go. The world is not as black and white as you seem to think.
Guys, Guys, Guys, am afraid neither the Shah nor Henry Kissinger are relevant in today’s Iran. Though we all have a perspective! The Khomeinist revolution in Iran was a complex and very multi-layered event. So sorry to interject.
GlobalSecurity.org, seriously? Founded by left-winger John E. Pike, formerly of the communistic Federation of American Scientists and the liberal Brookings Institution, never mind CFR member? The man who attacked the CIA any chance he got? Yes, I’d definitely call them a left-wing organization.
BTW, people who say that “the world is not so black and white” usually have an agenda, usually a liberal one.
