Supreme Leader Calls For Investigation of Possible Iranian Election Fraud

Just heard it on Fox News. Kind of a fox guarding the hen house sort of thing but I guess it shows that the mullahs are worried about the anger in the streets.

Last night the call went out for medical help on twitter. It came from students(?) holed up at Tehran University. The way I understood it they were looking for some online help in treating injuries sustained in the protests so I volunteered to do what I could but no details ever came through. After a bit I clicked over to the originating feed and it read something like "Been up 48 hours class tomorrow going to bed" so I am not sure exactly what is going on.

As I type Fox News (Megyn Kelly (mmmmm Megyn Kelly)) is reporting that all electronic communication is being shut down in Iran and that foreign journalists are being told to get out of the country. Not a good sign. As I said on Ace of Spades last night it seems to me that this is either going to be drawn out and bloody or short and extremely bloody. I think the government is opting for the extremely bloody option.
