Khamanei: Oooooh I'm so scared!
I don't really know what's happened to my friend, Eli Lake, who's written this story about this guy and his meeting with Perle. A "leading dissident and author," whom no one knows in or out of Iran. Who are these people kidding?
I bet Kahameni would rush to join Bin Laden in his cave as soon as he knows what a great opposition leader has joined the regime change team of Mr. Shahriar Ahy.
Less than 24 hours after one of Iran's leading dissidents and authors escaped to a neighboring state, the former chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board, Richard Perle, interrupted his trip to central Asia to meet with him in a cramped hotel room.
The meeting between Mr. Perle and Amir Abbas Fakhravar on April 29, in a location both men have asked not appear in print, may end up being as important as the first contacts between Mr. Perle and the ex-Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky in the 1980s.

Nikki,
What do you mean by “true face of people like Eli Lake”? Why is it that we Iranians shoot the messenger if we don’t like to “story”? Eli is covering a true story, you may not like Fakhravar but it does not make the story false.
It’s time for us to learn the lesson of democracy in exile…It’s ok to have many many different types of opposition figures, we all have one goal (I hope) to topple the Mullahs regime, so let’s not knock each other down.
Hoder you say, Eli is your friend so how can you doubt his judgment or question his story?
Let’s all be thankful, that an American journalist is willing to cover Iranians opposition figures.

Eli Lake is one of a few Western Journalists that has covered Iranian opposition groups for many years. I admire him and respect him for what he has done for Iranian freedom loving people. I think Iranians should be happy to have him on their site. We need him to get our voices to be heard.

I've read a few of Eli Lake's stories on Iran, and all of them have been without exception along the same lines of the kind of crap he wrote about Fakhravar. In fact, I think he has written on this dude before. I'm glad you are seeing the true face of people like Eli Lake, maybe one day you will have the same realization about other people/groups you've endorsed. So as long you are on this track, why dont you reconsider your endorsement of MEMRI.
