December 30, 2004Shining A Light: UpdateThere is an update to the post I cited earlier. It notes the lack of coverage, the significant lack of coverage, of this story by the Old Media. Indeed, one does wonder why such a story is not covered by these vaunted defenders of freedom, the oppressed, and downtrodden. One suspects that it has a great deal to do with inbred bias and political agendas, and that such is why it has been declared non-newsworthy. After all, it has nothing to do with nukes and can't be blamed on any party or leader, so it can't be news, can it? Thank goodness for the blogs, and this story must NOT be buried or real burials will be the result. LW Posted by wolf1 at December 30, 2004 03:11 PM | TrackBackComments I honestly think the Iranian government has mastered the technique of bluffing based on some imaginary nuclear weapon rumour. While every measure must be taken to assure people of Iran and the world that oil money is not being spent on development of nuclear WMD, the world must also notice that the Iranian gov could be exaggerating by deliberately giving away false information. In this way they will keep the mind of the world busy on the nuclear threat, and this gives them a lot of free time to do whatever they want, oppress intellectual movements, shut down all reformist movements, jail every journalist and recently bloggers. And because everyone is just worried about nukes, the main thing which is 'reform' and consequently 'freedom' will be lost. If western democracies are serious about helping Iranians, they should give "human rights record" and "nuclear deals" the same weight in the negotiations. A persian provern says "they offered death so you would be happy with a fever". Our problem is the fever now, we need remedies i.e. international pressure for changes.
