7. why do the uniforms say "police" in roman letters & why are the protestors carrying UN flags?

are you sure that photo is from this conflict?

[qazplm]

13. no idea why the UN flags

but almost all of the photos from the protests show police in roman letters.

I can only guess that Iran gets its gear from a supplier in the West? OR that it is leftover from the 70s in part when it was still friendly with the US?

5. Ahmadinejad is the one that needs to be arrested.

5:53 PM ET -- Report: Khatami's brother arrested. The excellent National Iranian American Council, which I've cited several times today, offers some new translations of Twitter messages coming out of Iran.

One says the brother of former Iranian President Khatami has been arrested. Earlier today, as we noted, Khatami's clerical group called for the election to be redone."Seyed Mohamad Khatami has not been arrested, but his brother Mohammad Reza Khatami and (his wife) Zahra Esraghi have been"


" Ahmad Ziadabadi and Saeed Shariati have been arrested"

"There has been no news published about the house arrest of Mir Hossein Mousavi"
