Matthew Yglesias continues to eschew honesty and integrity. Here he accuses me of making up facts because he disagrees with this article. His accusation is false—an outright lie. Yglesias is unaware of the differences between the reformers and broader segments of Iranian society. Those Iranians he cites have written and spoken on issues of reform and theocracy. Hello, Atlantic, this is the second time you’ve given a platform for an outright lie (first time here) so an overeager blogger—one that bizarrely has written he knows me when we have never met–can play out some silly personal animus at the expense of your reputation for basic integrity. Or, one that believes he can blog about subjects, the basics of which he simply does not know.
