Now come troubling details about the department’s handling of another incident that also resulted in death. It’s enough to make one wonder who exactly is being protected in Frederick County and whether it’s time for an independent look by outside agencies.

But if the race to elect a replacement to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad alters anything, it may be for the worse — at least from the West’s point of view. Scarred by the popular uprising of 2009, the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has ensured that only conservative regime loyalists were allowed to enter Friday’s first round of elections. His favorite may be Saeed Jalili, a slavish follower who as Iran’s nuclear negotiator has prided himself on his inflexibility. Though some of the five other candidates are slightly more independent, all have made a point of saying that all authority over foreign policy will lie with the ayatollah.</p> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/iran-votes-friday-on-a-president-but-the-ballot-is-quite-limited/2013/06/12/5fa7e820-d383-11e2-8cbe-1bcbee06f8f8_story.html?wprss=rss_editorials">Read full article &#62;&#62;</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/c/34656/f/636569/s/2d35c74c/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fopinions%2Firan-votes-friday-on-a-president-but-the-ballot-is-quite-limited%2F2013%2F06%2F12%2F5fa7e820-d383-11e2-8cbe-1bcbee06f8f8_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_editorials&t=Editorial+Board%3A+Iran+votes+Friday+on+a+president%2C+but+the+ballot+is+quite+limited." target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fopinions%2Firan-votes-friday-on-a-president-but-the-ballot-is-quite-limited%2F2013%2F06%2F12%2F5fa7e820-d383-11e2-8cbe-1bcbee06f8f8_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_editorials&t=Editorial+Board%3A+Iran+votes+Friday+on+a+president%2C+but+the+ballot+is+quite+limited." target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fopinions%2Firan-votes-friday-on-a-president-but-the-ballot-is-quite-limited%2F2013%2F06%2F12%2F5fa7e820-d383-11e2-8cbe-1bcbee06f8f8_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_editorials&t=Editorial+Board%3A+Iran+votes+Friday+on+a+president%2C+but+the+ballot+is+quite+limited." target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fopinions%2Firan-votes-friday-on-a-president-but-the-ballot-is-quite-limited%2F2013%2F06%2F12%2F5fa7e820-d383-11e2-8cbe-1bcbee06f8f8_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_editorials&t=Editorial+Board%3A+Iran+votes+Friday+on+a+president%2C+but+the+ballot+is+quite+limited." target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fopinions%2Firan-votes-friday-on-a-president-but-the-ballot-is-quite-limited%2F2013%2F06%2F12%2F5fa7e820-d383-11e2-8cbe-1bcbee06f8f8_story.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_editorials&t=Editorial+Board%3A+Iran+votes+Friday+on+a+president%2C+but+the+ballot+is+quite+limited." target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165666504509/u/0/f/636569/c/34656/s/2d35c74c/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165666504509/u/0/f/636569/c/34656/s/2d35c74c/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165666504509/u/0/f/636569/c/34656/s/2d35c74c/a2t.img" border="0"/>Ali Khameneiinternational sanctionsWed, 12 Jun 2013 23:16:23 GMThttp://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/iran-votes-friday-on-a-president-but-the-ballot-is-quite-limited/2013/06/12/5fa7e820-d383-11e2-8cbe-1bcbee06f8f8_story.html?wprss=rss_editorialsEditorial Boardhttp://feeds.washingtonpost.com/c/34656/f/636569/s/2d35c6c7/l/0L0Swashingtonpost0N0Copinions0Cva0Erepublicans0Eplay0Efast0Eand0Eloose0Ewith0Ethe0Efacts0Eon0Eabortion0C20A130C0A60C120C2b125f5a0Eceec0E11e20E8f6b0E67f40Ae176f0A30Istory0Bhtml0Dwprss0Frss0Ieditorials/story01.htm<p>E.W. <a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/va-politics/what-cuccinelli-told-ew-jackson-that-caused-him-to-run-for-virginias-lieutenant-governor/2013/06/02/06cf4940-cb00-11e2-9245-773c0123c027_story.html">JACKSON, the fire-breathing pastor</a> who stunned the Republican establishment by storming the party convention in Virginia and <a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/2013/05/23/ba5a1276-c310-11e2-914f-a7aba60512a7_story.html">snatching the nomination</a> for lieutenant governor, has been roundly mocked for saying Planned Parenthood has been “<a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57585280/va-gop-candidate-planned-parenthood-more-lethal-for-blacks-than-kkk/">far more lethal</a> to black lives” than has the Ku Klux Klan.
