When Dan Senor (Neo-Con and wife of Campbell Brown) is for Moussavi...what does that mean?

Did you see the "Face off between Paul Begala and Dan Senor on CNN with Blitzer?

Here's some background:

The Foreign Policy Initiative, DAN SENOR

In 2009 Senor co-founded The Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI), a neoconservative think tank begun with William Kristol and Robert Kagan, two founders of the Project for the New American Century. FPI is, according to its website, "intending to qualify as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code: and "that promotes continued U.S. engagement -- diplomatic, economic, and military -- in the world and rejection of policies that would lead us down the path to isolationism; robust support for America’s democratic allies and opposition to rogue regimes that threaten American interests; the human rights of those oppressed by their governments, and U.S. leadership in working to spread political and economic freedom; a strong military with the defense budget needed to ensure that America is ready to confront the threats of the 21st century; and, an international economic engagement as a key element of U.S. foreign policy in this time of great economic dislocation." <1>

AND, THEN, THIS FROM CNN:

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iranian presidential candidate Mir Hossein Moussavi told followers Monday he will "pay any cost" to contest the country's presidential election results, but said he had little hope his challenge would succeed.

Moussavi made his first public appearance since Friday's vote during a massive rally in central Tehran.
Iranian opposition supporters protest in Tehran on Monday in the largest demonstrations there in 30 years.

The official results showed incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad winning with more than 62 percent of the vote, and Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei -- the true leader of Iran -- has given his blessing to the outcome.

Moussavi has alleged fraud and filed a complaint with Iran's Guardian Council, which oversees elections, but he said the council had not remained neutral in Friday's vote.

"I don't have any hope in them," he said in a statement posted on his campaign's Web site Monday evening.

The fraud complaints will be looked into by the Guardian Council, which is made up of top clerics and judges. The council is expected to issue its findings within 10 days.

An Iranian official who asked to remain unidentified said allegations the Guardian Council was in Ahmadinejad's corner are "unfair and unfounded."

In the United States, President Obama said Monday he was "deeply troubled by the violence I've been seeing on television" in Iran. "I think that the democratic process, free speech, the ability of people to peacefully dissent -- all those are universal values and need to be respected."
