State Dept. Spokesman Refuses to Condemn Crackdown on Protesters

Fox News:
State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters Monday that the United States is concerned about allegations of ballot fraud.
Kelly described the U.S. government as 'deeply troubled' by the events in Iran, which is a stronger expression of concern than over the weekend when Vice President Biden cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election.

When pressed by a reporter, Kelly declined to condemn the Iranian security forces for their crackdown on street protesters. And he said the U.S. knows too little about the conduct of the election to say for sure whether there was fraud.

I absolutely agree the the US does not have enough information to make a judgement call about the Iranian elections. They should however condemn the violence being committed against the Iranian people by the police force.
