Dear Sir or Madam
Great work on documenting all teh details of these events, as you know due to the sensitivity of the Iran election events as well as ties that a lot of people in bay area have to iran (still families or parents livign in iran) which in turn might lead them to visit iran sometime in future, you should ask their consent before putting their pictures on your website.
Although these pictures will increase the number of hits to yoru website and hence you probably can get more ads on yoru website and charge them more but it would be more appropriate that you post pictures that are not close up of people's face.
A friend was detained after particpating in London protest and goignt o iran to help his parents, other friends on bay area they have complained about you putting their pictures on your website without their consent.
It is a free country and freedom of expression and journalisim no doubt about it but you still need to make sure that you respect people's privacy specially knwoing that some people are very sensitive and also I am aure you can imagine some of the outcomes that MIGHT happen to these people if their pictures are posted on a public website.
