Using the dead in Iran

Tell me this public request doesn't put the Iranian reime in a tough spot.
Iran's opposition leader asked authorities Sunday for permission to hold a memorial service for victims of last month's post-election unrest, including a young woman whose death was caught on video and became a symbol for protesters, said the leader's top aide.


A gathering sure to reignite the passion of the street opposition, but, at the same time, how do you say no?
