Iran Council Certifies Ahmadinejad Victory
[New York Times] Michael Slackman - The powerful Guardian Council touched off scattered protests in Tehran Monday when it formally certified the re-election of President Ahmadinejad to a second four-year term. Security and militia forces flooded the streets, and protesters, who were already out marching down Tehran's central avenue, broke into furious chants. Secretary of State Clinton said the Iranian government was facing an enormous credibility gap over the election. "I don't think that's going to disappear by any finding of a limited review of a relatively small number of ballots," she said.
