Persia and Iran

(New York, June 22, 2006) – Iran should immediately remove Tehran's notoriously abusive prosecutor general from its delegation to the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva, Human Rights Watch said today. The prosecutor general, Saeed Mortazavi has been implicated in torture, illegal detention, and coercing false confessions by numerous former prisoners. "Iran's decision to send Mortazavi to Geneva demonstrates utter contempt for human rights and for the new council," said Joe Stork deputy director of Middle East and North Africa division for Human Rights Watch. "Iran has just confirmed why U.N. members refused to elect it to the Human Rights Council."

Iran and Israel

This institute has determined that even without nuclear weapons, Iran could defeat virtually every country in the Middle East, with the exception of Israel. They point to Iran's large military, arsenal of intermediate-range ballistic missiles and growing defense industry, with more than 200,000 engineers and technicians.

Toby Keith in Iran?

I heard something really funny the other day on the radio. They were reporting that country music star, Toby Keith, was spotted in the Iraian capital. I began to laugh out loud as I think that Toby Keith would rather be shot in the head than be caught in the country of Iran. I am a pretty big Toby Keith fan and this is something that I can say with great certainty, there is no way he was there. I did come across a pretty cool Toby Keith ringtones site while I was trying to find information about the radio report today. I was not able to find anything about the supposed sighting online, which doesn't really surprize me.
