U.S.-based broadcasts inspire pro-democracy protests in Iran

I guess Castro's jamming signals must have have let up slightly.

Many of the Persian-language broadcasts beaming into Iran are based in my own backyard of Southern California. The story behind how such broadcasts affect events in Iran is quite a compelling story that the English speaking press has never fully tapped into.

I saw an in-depth story on this on one of the late night news shows maybe a year or so ago. Nightline, Dateline, or 20/20, one of those.

Anyway, it was a very moving story. It will be a shame if we have to bomb the shit out of Iran because their stupid leadership refuses to back down.
