The show, we said, will "provide a candid look at my business practices," which I thought was what the trial...
...used language in the blogosphere. Iranians generally use pseudonyms online to discuss taboo topics and criticize the government in a way no other news outlet would allow. Even some high-profile politicians have joined in, such as President Mohammad Khatami's former Vice President, Mohammad Ali Abtahi, who offers candid insights into the Iranian government on his blog, accompanied by photos taken with his cell phone...
