http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7XtREWow8kCaught this on NPR this week. Very interesting story that made me download the book and read in the same week. I've seen some people liken her treatment to that of prisoners at Guantanamo, but this ignores that fact that she was living in Iran legally and was not found on a battlefield. Had the situation been reversed and she were arrested while legally living in the USA, she wouldn't have been at Guantanamo but rather would have been guaranteed due process.
