As I recall, the boys being hung in Steve's post were just that, boys. I'm sure torturing & hanging suspected homosexuals goes a long way for "eliminating" such "problems"...
While Bollinger was sharing his thoughts on the pres of Iran, I can only guess that Ahmadinejad was saying to himself: "Note to self: Should Mr. Bollinger ever set foot on Iranian soil, have him arrested for subversion (or whatever comes to mind at the time), tortured, tried for his crimes, tortured some more, imprisoned (while being tortured), and what the heck, maybe executed years later after the US Gov forgets about him..."
If Iran takes up Bollinger's offer to speak there, I hope for his sake he doesn't go... that's one speaking gig I don't think he'll live to talk about...
