Iran

I thought this was an interesting article. Almost everything you hear about Iran comes from the government's standpoint. This article illustrates growing dissent with their leader...

Thanks for the info spivey. It's funny but last night I was watching a show on Discovery Times titled "Last Days in Iran" It was about Iranian-born photojournalist, Zahra Kazemi, who returned to her home country in June 2003 after 30 years in exile. It was to be her last trip. Police arrested Zahra outside the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran for taking photographs of a vigil by the families arrested for political dissent.

If anyone is interested in human rights and woman's rights and for a perspective on what's happening in Iran I strongly urge anyone to watch this show or Tivo it. Here's the link
DC show times (http://times.discovery.com/tvlistings/series.jsp?series=109060&gid=0&channel=DTC)
I found the show to be very informative and poignant in respect to everything that you hear in the news about Iran today.

It also adds to your link spivey and gives credence that article.

Dang! I don't get Discovery Times. That looks like a channel I would spend some time watching too! :(

It's on Direct TV.:doh: Sometimes they have some very informative shows.

I have DirecTV. But I only have the Total Choice, not the Total Choice Plus programming. :(
