the picture shows Khatami visiting the newly opened museum of torture (or some such name) in Terhan. the museum opened at the site of one of the prisons used by SAVAK. I am not a supporter of Khatami or anything of that nature. But don't you think if he really did supervise torture, he'd have enough sense not to let himself be photographed and then allow the photo to be published in the government run media of Iran?
Sorry for not seeing your comment sooner.
I also think so.
Only, one never knows, this picture can be found on many sites, the real message is of course that also Khatami was involved in torturing and so on.
