They just can't stop lying to people. Do they really think the people believe them? How can this Kh/AN government be legitimate with all these criminal acts and dishonesty?

The International Police force, or Interpol, has denied a claim by Iran's police chief that it is seeking a doctor who witnessed the shooting death of 26-year-old "Neda."
Head of police Brig. Gen. Esmail Ahmadi-Moqaddam said, "Arash Hejazi is wanted by Interpol and Iran's Intelligence Ministry" in the murder of Neda, who's shooting fueled what were daily opposition rallies in the capital city of Tehran, according to a Wednesday report by Iran's Press TV, a state-run, English language network.
Speaking by phone to CBSNews.com Thursday morning from her office in Lyon, France, a spokesperson for Interpol flatly denied any involvement whatsoever in an investigation into Sultan's death.
"We've not received any request for information or for assistance on the death of that lady," spokesperson Rachel Billington said.
"We've received nothing from Iran," she emphasized.
Since video of Neda's murder swept across social networking Web sites, turning her overnight into a symbol of the Iranian opposition movement's defiance, the Islamic Republic's leaders have suggested repeatedly that her death was a staged act to stoke unrest.
Arash Hejazi, reportedly a doctor, was seen trying to care for Neda on the amateur video. He claimed to have witnessed her murder by a member of Iran's Basij voluntary militia.
In the interview with Press TV, the police chief claimed there was no connection between the young woman's death and the violent street demonstrations which paralyzed Tehran until dramatic crackdown by police and paramilitary militia members.
"The murder of Neda Agha-Sultan was a scenario and is not related to the Tehran unrest in any way," the network quoted Ahmadi-Moqaddam as saying.

It amazes me that people think they know for sure what happened in that incident. Everybody likes to format the story according to their own belief without realizing how unreasonable he or she is. Why not think that this was a plot to murder a beautiful young woman so they could run it into the ground. How sure can people be that it was the Iranian police that shot this poor girl. Would we be talking about it if she was not attractive? According to the reports we have seen in the Western media and elsewhere, there was a doctor present at that moment who attended to her. Where is he? Why is he not coming forward. Why is he in hiding? Let's look and see who got a lot of mileage out of this story before we jump into any conclusions? Who can prove that it WAS NOT a MEK member working for a foreign agency who committed this murder?
Just looking at the election, has there been any concrete evidence provided that it was fraud? I have read many stories saying that it was fraud and at the same time I have read many stories that not even a shred of evidence has been provided to prove that it was a fraudulent election. So, which one is it? Who can concretely prove or disprove these events? How sure are you in providing the proof? Let's face it for all you folks who claim to be the center of all information; YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW! DO YOU?
