 * 1) Khomeini is a name and should be capitalized as such. The claim that he was considered a "Grand Ayatollah" is exaggerated.
 * 2) The name of the cleric whom Hashemi had murdered is not given.
 * 3) The claim that said cleric had been murdered for insulting Khomeini is not documented and contradicts the well-documented issue for which he was actually murdered but which is never mentioned in this article: Mehdi Hashemi's championing of the controversial book Shahid-e Javid. This cleric had launched a bitter attack on the book's heretical claims about Imam Husein's uprising against Caliph Yazid. It is likely that since Ayatollah Montazeri was a prominent supporter of Ayatollah Khomeini that SAVAK had a hand in promoting this rivalry.
 * 4) The claim that Mehdi Hashemi was supported as an innocent victim of the Shah's persecution is only partially true. Many were skeptical about this.
 * 5) I doubt very much that there was much of a debate in the regime about supporting Amal or not. Amal's supporters had long been purged from the regime during the "Second Revolution" (the hostage taking).
 * 6) "several sources" and "some sources" needs to be made specific.
 * 7) Reyshahri himself stated that Hashemi "confessed" after having been subjected to تعزیر, which amounts to torture. This is not an "unsympathetic" source.
 * 8) A much more detailed source than the onces used is http://iran.qlineorientalist.com/Articles/MehdiHashemi/MehdiHashemi.html, which is inexplicably neglected.
