Iran's presidency is to sue top reformist cleric Grand Ayatollah Yusef Sanei for allegedly insulting President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Fars news agency reported on Sunday.

"Following an insulting speech made in a ceremony by Mr Sanei against the president, the president's legal office has prepared a complaint against him," Fars said, quoting an unnamed source in the presidential office.

"The complaint will be submitted to the Special Court for Clergy," the source said, without offering further details.

This suit will hopefully bring up the "discussion" to a formal level that will put both sides' arguments to be judged by the people. I don't put much stock in the Special Court for the Clergy to be fair and even-handed. But the specter of having Sanai and hopefully Ahmadinejad facing each other to defend their respective positions in "court", will do wonders for the Iranian people to see how their leaders think and why the act the way they do.

I hope Ahamdinejad and Khamenei sue everyone who said something about their gross wrongdoings, so the people can hear their reasons for their crimes directly from their mouths.
