Posties sending a message?

Amind allegations of voting irregularities in the Iranian election, some have pointed out the convenient image on the front page of today’s Washington post.

It features the two leading candidates, incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and former Prime Minister Mirhossein Mousavi casting their ballots in yesterday’s election.

Ahmadinejad has declared victory, though Mousavi has said that the ruling Ahmadinejad and his loyalists have rigged the vote, maybe stuffing the ballot box.

So the Post’s photo is interesting: Ahmadinejad holds up two fingers; Mousavi holds up one.
