If the central count did not match the local count, that should be
easy for the opposition to prove. Why hasn't it done so? Why hasn't
the opposition shown how the national numbers don't match the local
numbers? Recall that by way of example, I reported that Mousavi's
campaign manager for Abadan did not dispute the count for Abadan based
on his 127 observers.

Either the national numbers match the local numbers or they don't. If
they aggregrate the local numbers, they are not cooked. If they are
cooked, they don't match the local numbers. There is no way around
this logic. If you know what ten numbers are, you know what their sum
is. There is no way to change what the sum of ten numbers is without
changing one of the numbers. This is why it is necessary for the
Mousavi people to say which ballot boxes they were prevented from
observing, because it is only ballot boxes that Mousavi's people were
not allowed to observe that could be "prepared" to be different from
what they were before without the Mousavi people being able to say:
"that ballot box has been doctored."

Is this 60 page report publicly available? Do you know if it says
which ballot boxes Mousavi disputes? Which ballot boxes weren't clean
at the start of the voting? Which ballot boxes were Mousavi's
observers barred from observing? For which ballot boxes were Mousavi's
observers not allowed to observe the counting of the votes?

Yes, I do know that. And I regard that fact as quite damaging to
Mousavi's case among fair-minded people. Mousavi complains that his
observers were blocked without saying where, and then when the
government proposes to recount ten percent of the ballots, Mousavi
refuses to send anyone to participate. Then, he can dismiss the
recount as being carried out by people that he doesn't trust. This is
not the behavior of someone trying to get at the truth, in my opinion.
Someone trying to get at the truth would welcome the opportunity for
more information.
