*** Iranian clergic attacks Internet as 'poison' to the masses A senior Iranian cleric called Friday for restricting Internet access because the global computer network fed "poison" to the masses. Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati said the Internet should be restricted to research and scientific centers and he criticized "unalert and uncalculating" officials who allowed unrestricted access. He said the Internet "poisoned thought, morale and attitude" and "was much worse than food poisoning since 100 doctors put together could not cure such a case in a short time."
