I think Iran has completed a more fair, honest and democratic election than the last 2 presidential elections in the US. Would you agree? I now wonder if bush isn't using his swiftvet terror tactics to attack Iran's newly democratically honestly elected President. I wonder how much the bush regime paid these guys to lie about the photo. The guy on the right does not look like the president of Iran to me.

U.S. Pursuing Reports That Link Iranian to Embassy Seizure in '79
by NAZILA FATHI and JOEL BRINKLEY

TEHRAN, June 30 - Two Iranian leaders of the seizure of the American Embassy in Tehran in 1979 dismissed allegations on Thursday by former American hostages that Iran's president-elect was one of their captors. The Bush administration, however, said it took the charge seriously and vowed to investigate.

Neuharth Calls For U.S. Withdrawal from Iraq, Says Bush 'Lied'

“I'm convinced the best way to support our troops in Iraq is to bring them home. Sooner rather than later,” Neuharth, a Bronze Star winner in World War II, declared. He also compared President Bush to President Lyndon B. Johnson, saying that both presidents “lied to us in wartime.”

Neuharth added, in his weekly column Friday in the newspaper he founded: “The crucial difference between Vietnam and Iraq is that there is no Cronkite to call Bush's bluff. Without a strong, trusted, non-political voice, too many of us remain Bush-blinded. Bush tried keeping the wool over our eyes again Tuesday on national TV by repeatedly tying Iraq to 9/11. That charge is as phony as his discredited prewar claim that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.”

Pointing to his own experience, Neuharth wrote: “Most of us who have had personal war experiences strongly believe this great country is worth fighting for at risk of lives. My World War II Bronze Star and Combat Infantryman's Badge on the wall behind my desk remind me of that daily.

"They also remind me that war is hell, that we must fully support our servicemen and women and put their lives at risk only for honest and just and noble causes.”
