What country are you in, may I ask, that is so perfect it has the right to pass judgement on who has what rights"
Not quite sure if I quoted this in the correct manner. Mike, in the future I shall request your permission to lecture. What good is an 'opinion' Mike when it lacks substance. Americans could of rioted when Bush stole the Presidency. And yet they did nothing. It is a disingenuous display of empathy grounded in fluff. Opinions ! Yes Americans are full of opinions. And honestly Mike I can't quite pin down why the tone of the thread disturbs me.

Arab speaking cops? Oh come on, the Iranians despise the Arabs.
They get fired up and have protests every once in a while, then things calm down.
If there is TRULY a complete communication block (not just a couple of webpages) I would like to see the sources. I think it probably isn't nearly the big deal that it is being made out to be. Sure some will get arrested but this isn't going to turn into a real revolution, the people are not suffering that bad just because they can't get their MTV.
A critical network upgrade must be performed to ensure continued operation of Twitter. In coordination with Twitter, our network host had planned this upgrade for tonight. However, our network partners at NTT America recognize the role Twitter is currently playing as an important communication tool in Iran. Tonight's planned maintenance has been rescheduled to tomorrow between 2-3p PST (1:30a in Iran).

Are you really that naive? Do you really think that sort of information is readily available?
Stick your head in the sand if your must, if all your willing to accept are specific details of SPY activities.. your pretty blinded.
Of course the CIA are involved.
you'd be an idiot to believe they aren’t.

You really believe the CIA doesnt have people amongst that crowd watching how the army/police are reacting?
Or picking out people to use in a resistance?
you really think they are simply letting this opporunity go by?

From:
iran.twazzup.com...
"With Ahmadinejad, the Islamic Republic is distancing itself from the mullahs and is slowing becoming an authoritarian military dictatorship in which holding on to power and making money have become more important than religion. … As in other states, the military rulers in Iran are above all nationalists. There is little prospect that Iran can be persuaded to yield in the nuclear dispute."
