"the counter-espionage department of the Intelligence Ministry"
I wonder if the Intelligence Ministry also has a counter-terrorism department...

What a petty little game to play with someone's life.

I have a question? When was the last time you saw an Iranian American journalist? This business of using people of the same ethnic, tribal or racial group to do espionage is troubling - most major countries do it. These stooges are so easy to spot - hence they're arrested every time. "Show me something you have published over the past year." How does a person who isn't a journalist respond? Al Gore's two Korean women nabbed by North Korea are a good example.

Iran can go to hell, Roxana Saberi is a good journalist and defintely not a spy. Iran like NK plays these games for concessions so what do they want from the US to drop the charges?

unscrejects: Saberi is a regular contributor to National Public Radio in the states, she's not an unknown stooge.
