Letter From Tehran

Norman Solomon and Reese Erlich two American journalists who were in Tehran for covering the presidential election , didn’t wait for the Run-Off, and went back to US earlier than expected.
They came to Iran accompanying with Hollywood actor Sean Penn, who is going to publish an account of this trip for San Francisco Chronicle.
Solomon in one of his first memos from Tehran has declared the election was not rigged as Bush had said before. He writes:
"But Iran's election is not rigged. There is a fierce electioneering battle underway here, with some significant differences between candidates. Meanwhile, hindered rather than helped by the bellicose statements from Washington, courageous Iranian activists have begun a new wave of actions against the status quo of theocracy."
