Insurrection: Day 2  —  The great Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski witnessed and wrote about dozens of revolutions in the course of his life.  He has, perhaps, seen more revolutions than anyone in the history of the world.  He knew, while he lived, revolutions better than anyone.

Allahpundit / Hot Air:
Video: Iranian thugs beat protester to death in broad daylight  —  There's no official confirmation that he died but that's the word on the street.  Best-case scenario is that they “merely” beat him into unconsciousness.  Rather than give you just the video of the beating, though …

CNN producer: Iranian students say they're doomed if Obama accepts the Iranian election  —  Much depends on the meaning of “accepts,” though, doesn't it?  I'm sure we'll get some patented Hopenchange drivel tomorrow about “grave concerns,” etc, but if Iran's kids are expecting The One to walk away …
