...Ganji who brought down the house. "Ganji! Ganji!" the crowd roared when he arrived. Once a functionary in the Revolutionary Guards and Ministry of Islamic Culture and Guidance, Ganji, 40, is now calling Iran's Islamic authorities to account in a way no other Iranian journalist has ever dared. His barbs helped take down one of the regime's sturdiest figures, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, in last month's parliamentary elections...
