UPDATE: An Iranian Connection to the Cordoba Initiative? The Ground Zero mosque website just removed a photo of Mohammad Javad Larijani: secretary-general of Iran's High Council for Human Rights, brother of Ali Larijani, top negotiator for Iran's nuke program.

UPDATE: Several commenters have questioned the veracity of the story that the Cordoba Initiative has just deleted a photo of a high-placed Iranian operative from its website. What follows is the proof that the photo was originally on the Cordoba Initiative website, and its Shariah Index project page. A screen shot below is from a cached copy of the original page, from http://gigablast.com/get?q=cordobainitiative.org+sharia&c=main&d=134956785546&cnsp=0. 

                                       

                                       
In fact, the photo which was removed still has the following specific internet address, as the Cordoba Initiative has  --  as of now  --  forgotten to delete the photo from their server: http://www.cordobainitiative.org/SIP2.jpg.

                                       

                                       
Here is how the page appears now, with the photo removed: http://www.cordobainitiative.org/?q=content/shariah-index-project.
