US Journalist guilty of spying in Iran

[Weatherman]

An Iranian-American journalist branded a US spy has been jailed for eight years by Iran after a brief trial held behind closed doors.          
Roxana Saberi, 31, who was arrested in January and went on trial this week, denies the charge and plans to go on hunger strike, her father said.

Perfect.

Yet another ransom demand.  The third world is a terrible place.

Poor woman.

As if the Iranians will care about her hunger strike.

[Ank] Iranians are lovely people who can do no wrong! [/Ank]

Why would anyone sane be in Iran in the first place?

Fucking retarded fucking evil Iranian government.  Hope the streets run red with political Mullah blood some day.

I'm going to be fantastically pissed if I am old and married when the Theocracy falls apart.

Wouldn't count on it. Just look at Iraq - the tyrant has been toppled and the streets are running red with blood of gays and women who do not wear veils.

She apparently has a dual citizenship, had lived in the US and got two degrees there before going back to Iran to study. Why would she do anything like that?

Unlike rape victims or gays sentenced to death in Iran, she isn't going to be killed, and she had an opportunity to live in a place where it wouldn't happen to her. Forgive me if I do not share your outrage.

The Iranian government has proven fantastically ineffectual and millions of (younger, better educated) people are dissatisfied.  If it wasn't for a core of rural, poorly educated retards in Qom and Azerbaijan the Mullahs would have been ousted a long time ago.

If it wasn't for a core of rural, poorly educated retards in the South, Bush wouldn't be elected. It doesn't mean he didn't have a popular mandate. Or are you proposing that only city-dwelling, well-educated liberal voters should have a right to vote? I could sign for this - as long as we start with the West.

Want and willing to are different things, Marty.  I want to travel, but due to the government am not sure I am willing.  Same with Sheilbh, presumably.  Same with the Jewish Deutschophile who wouldn't travel to Germany while the Nazis were in power.

Didn't you spend most of the last two days going on about how gays who are flaming in Iraq aren't stupid and deserve our outrage? 

OK, Mr. Issues.
