One man, living in Iran sharing the weird stuff he sees and hears...

Just back in Tehran, and the bizarre ride continues. Yesterday the
Foreign Ministry as well as the Ministry of Islamic Guidance and
Culture (great name, huh?) announced the compassionate release of
Sarah Shourd, one of the three American hikers captured last summer
for trespassing in Iranian territory.

While journalists made plans to get back to Tehran – this is a holiday
weekend here, making the end of Ramadan – the event, which was to take
place at 9am today, was canceled over night.  (add this link to “was
canceled over night”

No clear answer has been given for the cancellation, but it has given
birth to a new term: Iranian Giver.
