IRANIAN OBSCENITY - AT 6:49 P.M. ET:  Our friend Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi has been keeping us informed of this case.  We hope Mr. Obama and the foreign policy "realists" of this administration are aware of it, too.  From Phil Sherwell of London's Telegraph:

Delara Darabi knew the end was close when she made a panic-filled call to her mother from prison to say that she could see the hangman's noose from her window.

The Iranian artist was executed on Friday for a murder allegedly committed when she was a juvenile and for which she retracted her brief confession, claiming she was covering up for her boyfriend.

The prison authorities hanged Miss Darabi, 23, even though the head of Iran's judiciary granted her a two-month stay of execution on April 19 amid international outrage over her case. They also did not give her lawyer the required 48 hours notice.

Horrific new details have emerged of her last desperate plea for help from Rasht prison as jail guards came to lead her away.

Miss Darabi made a tearful call early on Friday to her parents to say she could see the gallows and noose, according to media reports from Tehran.

"Mother they are going to execute me, please save me," she pleaded. But a prison official then grabbed the phone an   d told her distraught mother: "We are going to execute your daughter and there's nothing you can do about it."

COMMENT:  Note the comment about "international outrage."  How much outrage did you see coming from the Obama administration, whose cheerleaders are far more concerned about waterboarding known terror masters. 

And where are the "women's rights advocates"?  Nowhere to be seen.  They're more concerned about Miss California endorsing traditional marriage. 

Now the Obama administration is about to engage the Iranian regime on the subject of nuclear weapons.  How far do you think Obama will get?  Can you hear the laughter in Tehran?
