  1. Foreign media barred from much anticipated Tehran Fri prayers Must rely on tweets & Iran media: Competing chants @ prayers & clashes outside
  2. Iran based reporters for US papers very quiet. No recent byline from Posts Erdbrink. 'Independent observers' now filing from Iran for NYT.
  3. Thinking about 'father of iran bloggers' hossein derakhshan arrested last yr Angered many w/ pro-regime views - forgotten in the turmoil.
  4. 5 Iranians long held by US military in Iraq have been turned over to Iraqi officials and will now presumably be freed.
  5. Interesting that the NY Times' Nazila Fathi has been filing Iran stories from Toronto lately & not Tehran where she's always been in past
  6. From Iranian friend, lives in Europe, visiting Iran for past month "I don't want to leave in spite of everything Why return to calm life?"
  7. Insight into coerced confessions in Iran from Omid Memarian in NYT http://bit.ly/J4QSe. I spoke with him in 2006 http://bit.ly/lbGSK
