Hypocrisy in Iran

The NY Times reported on Feb 14th of the detainment of 30 or so supporters of the opposition to the current Iranian leadership - including journalists. Though Ahmadinejad had seemingly positive sentiments of the changes in Egypt, Iran is clearly not supportive of similar movements in its own country. This censorship of media that could propagate anti establishment sentiments, is a clear, and disturbing indication of Iran's suspicions. Like Egypt shutting down the internet, Iran has recognized the forum that would encourage riots in its own country and is seeking to silence the voice of opposition.
