Iranian Prez Was Communist Witch-hunter
Via AP:
"Some of the former students have said Ahmadinejad opposed the takeover even though he was a member of the hard-line Islamic student group that seized the embassy. In the turbulent early days of Iran's Islamic Revolution, Ahmadinejad was more concerned with putting down leftists and communists at universities than striking at Americans, former students said. During the long standoff, he was writing and speaking against leftist students, they said. "
I imagine he hunted some of the people I went to school with. I thought this aspect of the story was worth mentioning since the Blight Bling Blogs are pushing another one.
