The Obama administration, while insisting it is not meddling in Iran, yesterday confirmed it had asked Twitter to remain open to help anti-government protesters.

The company had planned a temporary shutdown to overhaul its service in the middle of the night on Monday but the US state department put in a request to postpone this.

The New York Times last night identified the author of the request as Jared Cohen, a 27-year-old state department official. Twitter complied with the request, delaying its overhaul until last night.

""The way the elections were run, the speed of counting the ballots and the way government was prepared to deal with the opposition suggests fraud.""

Key word is "suggests" which will not hold up in a court of law. You can accuse all you want like the western media has about the elections and their biased coverage but until hard evidence surfaces, this is all a waste of time.
