There seems to be a clerical mutiny in Iran but it's not getting much noticed:
Iran’s biggest group of clerics has declared President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s re-election to be illegitimate and condemned the subsequent crackdown.
The statement by the Association of Researchers and Teachers of Qom is an act of defiance against the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has made clear he will tolerate no further challenges to Mr Ahmadinejad’s “victory” over Mir Hossein Mousavi.
Also, related? For 5 or 6 days now I haven't been able to access Fars News Service. I thought they might be blocking access so I tried proxies in Europe and Asia but they also give: "server not responding." Could they be under a denial of service attack? I suppose maybe. They have always been 100% behind Ahmadinejad, that's for sure. So who knows?
