    Since the ayatollahs will call it interference in Iran's internal affairs, I'm not sure how much help this will actually be to the protestors inside Iran.

    They are already saying that the west is interfering with their elections and they have already outlawed demonstrations claiming it is against "God's" command. Sounds to me more like, "Don't pay any attention to that man behind the curtain," from the "Wizard of Oz."

    If anything if will give they the courage to continue to protest.

    Great! except that Scientology isn't that big a deal. Attack a seriously nasty problem . . . the Roman Church, for example, and then it's all a little bit more than fun and games and vibra-voiced announcers.

    Do you mean by volume? The amount of people surpasses the level of evilness?

    Just a point of information,

    If you frequent the /b subforum of 4chan where 'anonymous' formed you will note rampant homophobia amongst a whole lot else. As an organization, if you can even call it that, anonymous does not have centralized structure. Individuals who frequent /b occasionally get together to cause web-related mischief under the banner of anonymous, and much of that mischief involves prank phone calls, hacking MySpace pages, etc. Wasted talent, usually.

    I just began reading this site after leaving DKos and I love it. Keep up the good work!
