It has been harder and harder to get information but Huffington Post is still doing an amazing job of covering the situation...I will most likely do less updates, maybe a few a week..but with work and the Book..its getting harder for me to cover Iran as well as it deserves...I am still peeved at the MSM who spent TWELVE days "covering " Micheal Jackson's Death. I think it is sad that a Musician died, BUT I am confused WHY MJ needed 24 hours a day coverage. To the people in Iran , I am so embarrassed and horrified of the MSM shutdown...What will happen there ....Time will tell...

This report from The Guardian , as they continue to attempt to track Who was killed and detained, they have a story from within from a Doctor that tells what Medically really went on and that the death toll is much higher.

I just read the Guardian article you linked about there being a lot more dead than will ever be known. Reminds me so much of Argentina and Chile in the 70's, the "disappeared" ... the families remembered them and kept pressing for answers ... so awful.
