Mousavi Cartoon Reaction Round-Up

It's always a little precarious to dip into political news sources because without the context of daily reading it's hard to tell how the thrust of the publication might influence any one news story, but this round-up of Iran news that touches on the Nik Kowsar Mousavi cartoon flap seems like a pretty fair write-up of available opinion. It's sourced, too.

To reiterate the basic storyline, well-known exiled Iranian cartoonist Nikahang Kowsar did a cartoon mocking opposition leader Mir-Hossein Mousavi for his proclivity towards political pronouncements. The opposition-supportive news source that carries Kowsar cartoons decided to take this one down. The sitting political forces spun it as a sign that the opposition is divided and weak; the opposition that they allow for differences in opinion but that maybe this one wasn't the best idea.
