Huffington Post:/ Iran Uprising Blogging (Thursday July 9)
3:15 PM ET -- Allah-o Akbar! It's nearly 11PM in Iran right now.

But the NYT Lede blog section titled "Latest Updates on
is also very good. However if you go to this one, you should be aware that it says at the top that to get to the second page you have to go down to the bottom of the page and click on the pagination link.

Overall it seems that in Tehran in the earlier part of the day there were the batons and so forth, but none on video and not nearly as brutal as previously. The item I posted below on the Amir Kabir dorm attack (with my comment) from niac is however extremely disturbing,.Later on the police and paramilitaries seem to have shown restraint and the protesters also showed the good sense to turn around when they were obstructed from marching and regroup elsewhere. By nighttime, it seems the mood was very positive and invigorating.
