Mind over Mullah

Looks like somebody just pissed in Ayatollah Ali's khoresh...
-- CAIRO -- The most important group of religious leaders in Iran has called the disputed presidential election and the new government illegitimate, an act of defiance against the country’s supreme leader and the most public sign of a major split in the country’s clerical establishment.

“This crack in the clerical establishment and the fact they are siding with the people and Moussavi in my view is the most historic crack in the 30 years of the Islamic republic,” said Abbas Milani, director of the Iranian Studies Program at Stanford University.

“Remember they are going against an election verified and sanctified by Khamenei.”
