‘This was a massacre. You should stop this. You should help the people of Iran.’

CNN’s Ivan Watson was left dumbfounded on Wednesday during an interview with an unnamed eyewitness in Iran who told the news network that security forces mercilessly beat protesters.

The woman, whose identity CNN chose to keep secret for fear of reprisal by the Iranian government, also said she believed security forces had fired into a crowd.

“The black-clad police, they stopped everyone, they emptied the buses that were taking people … and then all of a sudden some 500 people with clubs and boots and they poured into the street and they started beating everyone,” the eyewitness said.

1. Maybe if the Iranians had sent troops into Ohio in 2004 like I asked them to.

I know, that's not the point.

(No, I didn't really ask a country to invade us).

3. That was heart wrenching to listen to, the vid is on the web
as to help, I am sure people are working well behind the scenes. But the US cannot do it, '56 comes to mind

At least not openly...

Also we cannot send the cavalry... but can help soon.
