I agree. But in a case like this, the Revolutionary Guard (or whoever/whatever on the side of the "establishment" in Iran) may well have decided that that is the lesser of two -- ummmm, "evils"... And Robert did seem to the be favouring the rather unsupported position/assumption that the (D)DoS attacks are being perpetrated by the "pro-change" side in this issue.
