The Fog Of War - & Twitter

The following were some of the reports being sent over Twitter at #iranelection during a 20 minute period between 12:40 and 1 p.m. Iran Standard Time. New twits (or is it twitters?) are coming in at a rate of about 1,000 per every 5 to 10 minutes.

There are reports of violence at various places throughout Iran as well as rumors about everything from foreigner visas being cancelled to speculation on what the Iranian Army - as opposed to the IRGC - is doing. I wrote two days ago that the wild card in this, as events progressed, will be what the non-IRGC Iranian military decides to do. At any rate, here are some of the substantive twits - (or is it twitters?):
