Rooting for Ahmadinejad  —  The heart and the head sometimes go in different directions, and they do for me today as Iranians go to the polls to vote in their country's semi-legitimate presidential elections.  —  Many problems afflict those elections - including restrictions on who may run for president …

Alerts from Tehran  —  *Hour/time given U.S. Eastern (unless otherwise noted)  —  From Iran expert Farideh Farhi in Hawaii  —  What happened in Iran was not only a stolen election (which is different from a selection), it was a brazenly stolen election against a people who in unprecedented numbers …
