I have not seen much. Al Jazeera has little more than riot porn and heavily biased commentary (from several angles, I'll grant them. Al-J is good about posting views contrary to their Sunni-Saudi-Qatari predilection).

Maybe Juan Cole, or the German media shed deeper light. Or wait until the rest of the Western media catches up to the story.
