Ahmadinejad's American Apologist

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Jun 15 2009, 1:59 PM ET Comment

Flynt Leverett, formerly of the National Security Council, compares the "election" in Iran to the 2000 recount in Florida:

Look at the irregularities Mousavi is citing now: that they ran out of ballot paper in some polling precincts, that they did not keep some polls open long enough. There is no way such things could change the overall outcome which is clearly in favor of Ahmadinejad. If you compare this to the flaws of the presidential election in Florida in 2000, it seems very insignificant.
