  1. I expect you shall (and should) delete this comment… normally I am not this pedantic with other people, but I’d want someone to tell me that it was spelled notoriety. It’s like having spinach in my teeth and no one saying a word. I’d rather just know.

    [ed. In the future, I won't use google as my spell checker.]

  2. I heard some very interesting details on Ganji’s past from my dad just now.

    Funny how no one mentions anything about his involvement with the old government and the techniques he developed to torture political prisoners.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
