If you happen to read this article in The Observer be sure to follow it up with this post at Juan Cole *Informed Comment*.
Have I ever posted a link to this site? Forgive me if it’s a repeat but I found it accidentally one day and it’s a great place to find observations of day-to-day goings on in Iran and elsewhere from first-hand sources.
Of course the big news is Douglas Feith and Manucher Ghorbanifar, the Iranian middleman in U.S. arms-for-hostage shipments to Iran in the mid-1980s… which no doubt has been covered by lots of bloggers. And all I can say on it has likely been said often by now as well. There’s no surprise in it. The proof of it, great. What will come of it? Gee I don’t know. Ask George laughing it up with his ‘rangers’ down in Texas. Probably not a damn thing.
