Sweet, tolerant Iran

From the International Free Press Society:

New York Times: H/T GAR
TORONTO — Iran’s judiciary has shut down three pro-reform newspapers, opposition Web sites reported Tuesday, in what appears to be a new effort to prevent protests against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The closures came several days after the appointment of two hard-line military veterans to security-related positions. Together, analysts said, the moves reflected the government’s continued determination to suppress the dissent that has risen in the wake of the disputed June 12 presidential election.
There's not really much a person can say to this, is there? The State of Iran is simply out of control.
