From the DEBKAfile:

"First round in Internet war goes to Iranian intelligence"

We have seen the recent protests, the "riots", demonstrations directed against the ruling government of Iran. An election was purportedly stolen? The allegations of fraud have not been proven, but is BELIEVED TO BE TRUE BY THOSE IN THE STREETS!

Young folks for the most part, giving the ruling powers some aggravation, those young folks hoping for "change"!

Protests, "riots", demonstrations that have fizzled out, lost the momentum, and are now history?

Fizzled out in an unanticipated manner! From hidden reasons not fully realized by those in the streets! An unseen hand was at work, MANIPULATION BEHIND THE SCENES!

"millions of sympathizers around the world looked forward to seeing Iran's protest movement using the Internet for the first online coup in history."

"[the] organizers' heavy reliance on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and other social sites to orchestrate their protest movement . . . Iranian intelligence Internet experts, operating from secret headquarters established months ago, were using their communications to shoot them down."

The demonstrators, the protesters, the "rioters" were using the latest technology, cell phones, Internet access, etc., to organize and coordinate their activities. ALL THE WHILE BEING WATCHED, DECEIVED AND MANIPULATED BY THE IRANIAN AUTHORITIES!

"The high-end apparatus, installed in late 2008 by the German Siemens AG and Finnish Nokia Corp. cell phone giant, gave Iranian intelligence the most advanced tools anywhere for controlling, inspecting, censoring and altering Internet and cell phone messaging."

THE MOST ADVANCED TOOLS ANYWHERE! THE MOST ADVANCED ANYWHERE! BEARS REPEATING.

"Iranian intelligence invaded their computers and cell phones to plant false leads for smoking unsuspecting activists out in the open and keeping them under inspection"

NOT ONLY WERE THE IRANIAN DISSIDENTS BEING WATCHED, THEY HAD DISINFORMATION PLANTED AMONG THEM AND WERE BEING DECEIVED AT THE SAME TIME!! A COORDINATED AND SYNCHRONIZED PLAN ON THE PART OF THE DISSIDENTS BECAME IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE OF SO MUCH CHAOS AND CONFUSION DELIBERATELY PLANTED BY IRANIAN INTELLIGENCE!!

There too is not something mentioned in the DEBKAfile article. Many of the servers for those various Internet web sites are U.S. based. Web packet traffic of the Iranian dissidents might very well be traveling through U.S. based Internet routers, Iranian dissidents having an Internet chat becoming U.S. "persons" whose conversation is inviolable for American intelligence agencies inspection without a search warrant being issued!!
