From Politico...
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday called for the immediate release of Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi — convicted two days ago of spying by a court in Tehran — saying “the charges against her are baseless.”Gotta have one of these.
“We hope that the actions will be taken as soon as possible by the authorities in Iran, including the judiciary, to bring about the speedy release of Ms. Saberi and her return home,” Clinton told reporters, adding that her trial was “nontransparent, unpredictable and arbitrary.”
Saberi, a 31-year-old freelancer who has worked for several news organizations, including National Public Radio and the BBC, was convicted of espionage on Saturday and sentenced to eight years in prison during a one-day, closed-door trial. She was initially detained about three months ago for working as a journalist without proper credentials.
Otherwise you're no journalist...you're just a damn spy.
