I don't like the Tehran government one bit and do not doubt for a minute that they are capable of doing positively awful things to both men and women who "don't toe the line".
This reporting here, however, has a significant "Saddam Hussein's evil security forces are torturing, killing and gassing thousands of innocents" whiff to it.
I do NOT know what is happening in Iran right now - maybe security forces really ARE shooting women in the breasts, groin and such.
What I DO know is that REPORTING EXACTLY LIKE THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS BEFORE A MAJOR MILITARY CAMPAIGN AGAINST A NON-WESTERN COUNTRY.
So it is an OPEN QUESTION - is what is reported REALLY HAPPENNING EN MASSE, or are EVENTS UNFOLDING IN IRAN BEING "SEXED UP" IN ADVANCE OF POSSIBLE MILITARY ACTION AGAINST THE COUNTRY?
A war against Iran could be AS BLOODY AS IRAQ/AFGHANISTAN WAS YEARS AGO.
As in any of these wars, MANY PEOPLE KILLED WILL BE INNOCENTS WHO HAPPEN TO BE IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME.
