"Akbar Ganji was once a loyal Revolutionary Guard and veteran of the religious revolt that brought clerical rule to Iran. He became an operative for the country's intelligence services and spied on enemies of the regime.
But now Ganji has become the Republican Party's darling and a hero to its neo-conservative wing who are pressing for a hardline US policy on Iran. President George Bush has spoken glowingly of Ganji, who has become a vocal critic of Iran's ruling mullahs and the country's leading political dissident. 'His calls for freedom deserve to be heard. His valiant efforts should not go in vain,' Bush said."
"It is a remarkable turnaround. Now a reform-minded journalist who has turned his back on religious rule, Ganji is serving a jail sentence in Tehran after publishing a book that chronicled his government's complicity in a series of killings of journalists and dissidents."
yes, quite remarkable! what a stinking pantload this is. how many Iranian journalists and dissidents were killed by the CIA installed Shah of Iran and HIS secret police??
