Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr. All demon spawn from Web 2.0, and we all love to make fun of these websites and the services they provide. However, here in the West, where everything is at arm's length and democracy is something we do not remember fighting for, it's easy to forget that what looks silly and useless to us, can be of the utmost importance somewhere else in the world. Update: I've been informed that the first casualty has fallen at the hands of armed government supporters. Hundreds of thousands of people are now on the streets all over Iran. More updates inside.

I wouldn't put it past it that the US government (read: CIA) are politically interferring here. Pretty much like what happened in 1955. The US does not like the current guy in charge and will use and dirty tracks to try and discredit and get rid of him.
How am I to provide proof of my suspicions when organisations like the CIA act in an underhanded and secretive manner, leaving little or no evidence behind of their tampering?
