TEHRAN, July 4 -- Mir Hossein Mousavi, the leading opposition candidate in last month's disputed election, released documents Saturday detailing a campaign of alleged fraud by supporters of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that assured his reelection, while an adviser to Iran's supreme leader accused Mousavi of treason.

Hossein Shariatmadari, a special adviser to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, accused Mousavi of being a "foreign agent" working for the United States and a member of a "fifth column" determined to topple Iran's Islamic system of governance. The accusation of treason was the highest and most direct issued by an Iranian official since the June 12 election.

Many in Iran say that government forces are laying the groundwork for arresting Mousavi, who has not been seen in public in more than a week.

In a 24-page document posted on his Web site, Mousavi's special committee studying election fraud accused influential Ahmadinejad supporters of handing out cash bonuses and food, increasing wages, printing millions of extra ballots and other acts in the run-up to the vote.

The committee, whose members were appointed by Mousavi, said the state did everything in its power to get Ahmadinejad reelected, including using military forces and government planes to support his campaign.

And the plot thickens

What do these IRI guys think, really?!! They cheat and kill, then turn around and call Mousavi a traitor?  Ali Khamenei, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, their Basij, and above all Hossein Shariatmadari are traitors to Iran.  They are murderers.  Someday soon they will all be tried for their crimes.  Hossein Shariatmadari is the scum of the earth.

Read my one-before-last reply to MiNeum 71 in here (in "Replies"):

The same reply applies to you. I don't really feel like copying/pasting the same or writing it in another way here.
After that, if you still haven't understood, you're up for more surprises from the Islamic Republic.
Good reading!

Parham, no one is complaing about his/her vote becoming...

irrelavent! I'd be gald to buy you a beer if you could point out a single case of that.  Everywhere we see people asking "where's my vote". It means they are comlaining about not being counted. You, on the other hand, are on the irrelevant side. You boycotted, therefore you're politically irrelevant. You symbolize Iran's path to democracy's political roadkill. Better luck next time.

So...

... if they didn't become irrelevant, why all the noise, and where are you at right now? :)

I'm sure that's exactly what you thought...

like your other "thoughts".  In case you missed the whole thing, my vote and millions of other people's were not COUNTED, it was by no means irrelevant.

You on the other hand, my friend, painted yourself in a corner, politically speaking, and now all you can do is making faint noises.

Parham, what do you have to worry about?

by Ostaad on Sun Jul 05, 2009 09:53 AM PDT

What do you care about the "arghaam", dude? You followed your own advice and made a very rational decision to boycott the election. You even urged others to follow suit. Don't you feel vindicated, since you proved to be right?

Have mercy on us losers and try to come up with a darn good reason to boycott the next one. I'm sure you have it in you.

PS - How does it feel to be politically irrelavant?

Mr. Mousavi seems to be VERY naiive

Pre-election campains and raising salies to boost one's favorability rating is the traditional way to gather votes. That is how it is done in the west everyday. Is Mr. Mousavi (our uprising leader) a naiive man? I hope not.
