Great job uncovering this nasty mess. Glad to see the Globe pick it up. Is this unbelievable or what? Just when I think I am beyond being shocked by anything anymore...
This is horrifying! Pressure should be put on the media to investigate this horrid example of how we are bringing 'democracy' to Iraq.
Problem is in Iran not Iraq. Different set of issues, same basic geography.
As long as internet services are allowed to access destinations outside the country, any effort by governments, be it the United States or Iran, to restrict information is a race the censors are doomed to lose.
