Their account of the Guards’ presence at Fars offers insight into the force’s media connections.</p> <P>“We were insiders defying orders to not cover opposition gatherings. They considered what we did treason,” says Mr. Moghimi, whose picture of a demonstration in Tehran made the cover of Time magazine in June. <A target="_blank" href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125730352972127145.html"><EM>Go to WSJ.</EM></A></p> </DIV> </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/5EFFA34E-20ED-4B66-A26C-F3E2756EAF19/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
