Iran Clerical Group says vote results invalid.

Okay. Whoa. A major center of Shi'ite study and learning is issuing a statement in direct defiance of the Ayatollah. Wow. Don't know how much good it'll do, but wow. That is just...

The reformists are NOT giving up, and in my lifetime, I've never seen that happen. I truly thought the regime would quell the protests - ALL of them - but these guys? Nope. I'm heartened to see them continuing to struggl, and that they're getting support from unlikely sources - clerical groups within the power structure?!? Way to go.
