"While the legislation considered in the Iranian parliament, the Majlis, so far does not create a dress code for Iran’s Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians - an echo of Nazi laws that required Jews, homosexuals, Gypsies, and communists to wear distinctive armbands and badges - the spokesman, Sam Kermanian, said yesterday that he suspected early reports of this kind may have been a trial balloon.he ends by quoting Kermanian:
[]
But the prospect of a dress code for non-Muslims in an Iranian theocracy is not so far-fetched. Iranian religious leaders historically mandated dress codes for non-Muslims. "
""And considering the anti-Semitic environment in Iran, which exists due to government-sanctioned propaganda, this sort of support is a matter of great comfort to us now.""please.rot.in.hell.

Antonia Zerbisias at azerbic sourced the story of the color badges to Iranian-born analyst Amir Taheri who is a member of Benador Associates:
"Meet Eleana Benador, the Peruvian-born publicist for Perle, Woolsey, Michael Ledeen, Frank Gaffney and a dozen other prominent neoconservatives whose hawkish opinions proved very hard to avoid for anyone who watched news talk shows or read the op-ed pages of major newspapers over the past 20 months. Also found among her client list are other major war-boosters, including former New York Times executive editor and now New York Daily News columnist, A. M. Rosenthal; Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer; the Council on Foreign Relations' resident imperialist Max Boot; and Victor Davis Hanson, a blood-and-guts classicist and one of Vice President Dick Cheney's favorite dinner guests."
I wonder how many media outlets corrected the story?
I think this has been noted already. Sorry. (I need to do more drinking.)
bottoms up :-)
Have we had reports of "terrorist training camps" in Tehran yet?
When we hear those reports, we'll know the invasion is just weeks away...
