Iran bans negative petrol stories

[Psycho4Bud]

Iran's top security body has ordered local journalists not to report on problems caused by petrol rationing, a day after its surprise introduction.
Angry motorists have reacted violently to the curbs, attacking up to 19 petrol stations in the capital, Tehran.

There are still long queues outside filling stations.

The authorities switched off the mobile text messaging system in Tehran overnight to prevent motorists from organising more protests.

The BBC's Frances Harrison in Tehran said that many Iranians are already on edge because of a recent sharp rise in the cost of living.

During Wednesday's unrest, motorists threw stones and shouted slogans against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Despite the ban on negative reporting by Iran's security council, reformist papers are still complained about the abrupt way in which it was announced, saying even the police chief and the petrol station owners were not aware of the move.

Good for them. We the gutless Americans, should be protesting in the streets and burning down corporate headquarters of such entities as Haliburton, Standard Oil, Dow Chemicals, the white house and for sure Dick Cheneys residence. What has happened to our voracity, our desire to set things right with our government, It is a damn shame we have to see other countries with the balls to take on their corrupt government while we stand idly by and take it up the ass. You get the government you deserve and these fat and colesterol saturated yuppies are not about to lift a finger to upset their little world. Yup, they are getting the govt. they deserve, problem is, I have to endure it also. I'd go to the streets if I had enough company, but the govt. keeps us divided. If we'd get it together, we could use the ballot to change things, unless the machines have already been fixed.
