Lets get it right

There are clearly people behind these men interviewed who are protecting them otherwise they wouldn't be so open with displaying their names, rank and faces and where they are. The question begs, which country is supporting them? There is no doubt places like the US have an interest in toppling Iran. But there are many things that Iran and the US are happy to take part in together. People should open their eyes and see everything isn't black and white especially in international politics.

Open your eyes people

Believing there are not people in Iran legitimately protesting against the government is like believing Ahmadinejad when he said that there are no homosexual people in Iran. While the west obviously has many flaws, its denial to keep blaming everything on the US, Mosad, bad camera angles, etc.

Proffesionalism or not??

As far as im concern dateline and the australian media have a very long way to go in under the problem in the middle east. Maybe dateline should produce a story closer to their strength and in countries where they understand the most about. The Iranian story was a complete amateur. Someone who understands the middle east will see the Iranian as one sided and poor information. It is sad someone actually thought that Iranian regime was verge of running away. What a joke!!

Truth??????

Who supported the downfall of the Shah? Saddam Hussien? It was US. Before attempting to go to war with a country the US aims to topple leader by ANY means neccessay. Are you sure the majority of Iranians support the downfall? THius is very similar or identical to the situation where Saddam Hussein statue fell. The camera angle percieves the thousands of people were there but in was a handful of people.

This is not real journalism

I hate to say this but this program of dateline I found very biased, any analyst would agree that these people are anarchist hired by mosad to destabalize the Islamic country from within. The views of Iranian supporters of Ahmadenejat were not included in the interviews who make up the majority of Iran. If 'Dateline' continues to show propaganda and misinformation, then they would lose a long time fan. Keep dateline unbiased. Overall, worst episode ever.

iranian women

good to see so many women protestors. young and older. they are braver than me. i know the older women will always remember what it was like to live in iran before virtually insane men who are not Gods and do not speak for any Gods, let alone have any mandate to falsely speak and threaten and war in the name of any long dead man called Mohammed, denied them their freedom in the late 1970s, believing they could dumb women back down to the dark ages, dumbing iran's rich heritage with their madness

"guardin tv nitwits pointing the finger"

The highly emotive & precious point was made of the Iranian woman being shot dead in by Iran but didn't juxtapose the Israelis direct head shot on the 12 year old palestinian boy. With regard to the Iranians using torture, I seem to recall not so long ago it was American having no qualms about using torture at Abu Ghraib & as for their being no God in Iran. I simply point to prime minister Blair's fictitious dossier that under pinned the invasion of Iraq, (thou shalt not bear false witness).
