how to dodge like ahmedinejad

the international campaign for human rights in iran has released a guide for reporters on ‘how to interview iranian officials on human rights issues’. it teaches journalists how to use the canned answers the iranian foreign ministry teaches its diplomats against them. indeed, a guide like this one created secretly and passed confidentially to  journalists is any government communications office’s worst nightmare. fortunately for the various establishments that continue to run the world (for better or for worse), particularly in this case that of iran, ichri’s guide is freely available online, allowing sharp iranian officials to study, prepare, and counter.
