Nico Pitney, National Editor of The Huffington Post, has been covering the continuing crisis in Iran after the controversial presidential election on his extensive live-blog. Yesterday, President Obama called on Pitney during his press conference in order to answer a question directly from an Iranian. On Monday Pitney had asked on his live-blog what Iranians would like to ask President Obama if they had the chance.
Last night Pitney was a guest on Charlie Rose to discuss Obama's answer to his question as well the events unfolding in Iran as demonstrators continue to take to the streets despite a violent crackdown by the regime.
Watch a clip from the show below.
I continue to hold the Iranian people in the light, and know that these words belong to them at this point in history:
"There is no danger that dauntless courage cannot conquer; there is no trail that spotless purity cannot pass through; there is no difficulty that strong intellect cannot surmount. For those who win onwards... --the power to bless & save humanity."HPB
