Wall Street Journal reports that Ahmadinejad and his staff may be under a sorcerer’s spell! 

From “Rough Spell for Iranian Politics:  President’s Staff Accused of Sorcery“:

Mr. Ahmadinejad’s detractors have accused the president and his advisers, including the Presidential Palace’s top imam, of belonging to a cult-like ring that promotes superstition and mystical fanaticism. Some have said that Mr. Ahmadinejad is under a spell cooked up by his chief of staff, Esfanidar Rahim Mashaie. Mr. Mashaie is already a controversial figure for promoting nationalism over religion, and for his alleged affinity for astrology and mysticism.
