The almost cheerful, open-air protests in Tehran are beginning to look scarier. The Baseej militia* are in evidence though probably in mufti. In other words, the protesters fighting for an election do-over -- our guys -- are probably being infiltrated by agents provocateurs.

Demo today v\peaceful but it is going to change tonight - too many baseej tody #Iranelection
*An excerpt from Wikipedia: "Originally consisting of those males 'either too young or old for regular military service,' the Basij are perhaps most famous for providing the volunteers that made up the human wave attacks against the Iraqis during the Iran–Iraq War, particularly around Basra.Currently Basij serve as an auxiliary force engaged in activities such as law enforcement, emergency management, the providing of social service, organizing of public religious ceremonies, and more controversially morals policing and the suppresson of dissident gatherings. They have a local organization in almost every city in Iran."
