Abtahi

abtahi_500s.jpg

Here's a cartoon of the Iranian vice president, Mr. Abtahi, who also happens to be internet-savvy and has his own blog. A moderate cleric, he's trying to introduce the internet to the other clergymen from within the government, many of whom still view it as malicious and a wide-scale internet filtering system is in effect. He also has a camera cellphone and frequently takes pictures of other governmental figures and puts them on his site.
