Surprise!

"Most Iran Reform Candidates Disqualified

By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 15 minutes ago

TEHRAN, Iran -
Iran's hard-line Guardian Council on Sunday rejected all reformists who registered to run in presidential elections, approving only six out of the 1,010 hopefuls, state television reported.

The final list effectively barred reformers seeking democratic changes within the ruling Islamic establishment from the presidential race. The move came as ruling clerics seek to consolidate their power in the June 17 vote following the departure of reformist President Mohammad Khatami."
