Postscript:  I'll probably post links to favorite sources in the updates section regarding the fallout from the Iranian election.  I say fallout, because I'm not sure it's a revolution just quite yet.

To get the ball rolling, Michael Totten's been writing some good stuff (scroll down to June 2009), while over in Egypt, Sandmonkey is as interesting and entertaining as usual.

UPDATE:  Good column at the Belmont Club.  Michael Ledeen's also has some good stuff, although he's a bit more optimistic about the results of a Mousavi win than I am.

UPDATE #2:  A thorough backgrounder from the Tehran Bureau blog.  Quite a lot of info at their site.

UPDATE (Jun 20/09):  Heh.  Iran's worst clerics.
