Iran Recount

From the Beeb:

Iran's powerful Guardian Council says it is ready to recount disputed votes from Friday's presidential poll.

Shorter analysis from BuzzFlash:

Iran's powerful Guardian Council says it is ready to "recount" disputed votes from Friday's presidential poll. Excuse our cynicism, but when "recount" doesn't mean "recount," but rather "diffuse the opposition by holding off a week but then announce again an Ahmadinejad victory by a slightly lower majority and by then the steam has gone out of the opposition."

That's about it.
