Use your Twitter to confuse Iranian censors

SEEDING THE FALSE DATA CLOUD
Prior to the recent Iranian elections, facebook and other social networks were being used as an organizing tool. Censors quickly jumped on this trend and blocked Facebook’s site from the entire country. The election protests were organized and publicized on Twitter, which the bureaucracy failed to block in time. Iranian censors are now combing the twitter network for dissidents in a Savak-like fashion. But folks around the world are trying to help the Iranian Resistance. This may or may not help, but it's worth a try.

Of course, that was 30 years ago and times change, people change, events change people. The dust-up he and Stabler had in southern Alabama is ancient history for most people and he was now was curious if it would be the same for Stabler. I mean, after all, Padecky was the one thrown in jail, not Stabler.
