PressTV is almost lucky. Al Jazeera got bombed instead, in Baghdad, when the war criminals did not like their news.

Exactly. Now compound that by the convoluted manner in which the issues are addresses during election debates/interviews. The one classic example that always stuck with me was when ABC's Charlie Gibson interviewed Sara Palin. He asked her a simple direct Yes-on-No question. She responded by babbling for 10 minutes straight, and never once said yes, no, or even addressed the friggin question. Charlie countered by re-asking he exact same question and directly specified that he was looking for a Yes-or-No reply. Her response? 10 more minutes of distracted puppet shit.
When a politician answers a direct question the only thing that can be guaranteed...Is that nobody in the room will have the slightest clue what the fuck their talking about. Because it's just one long string of complete bullshit.

You just can't make this stuff up. The complete insanity of it is just beyond belief.

Dunno.
But, from the article, they execute about 1 person every 8 hours...
Now, depending on what stats you use...
Deaths in the Iraq war:
9 per hour.
(2 per hour in low estimates.)
That's just Iraq. Not Afghanistan.
Looks like the US is much better at killing people than Iran. Tehran really needs to step up its game if it wants to be taken seriously on the world stage.
Still... it's kind of crazy to blame anyone for putting porn on the Internet. Like, that's what the Internet is for!
Heck, even Cookie Monster knows that~! :P
