A political-science lecturer at the University of California-Berkeley and Santa Clara University is being held in Iran on charges of espionage

...Here we go again! Is this espionage or an American held hostage?

Probably an al-Qaeda operative being given his latest marching orders.

Don't worry about it...there are no real AMERICANS at Berkeley.

Thanks for the heads up! It does sound like a case the mainstream media would have jumped on - unless, in Iran's 'war', they side with the French and Mullahs and against freedom - as they did with Saddam in Iraq.

Is this American Prof. a leader in the pro-Democracy Iranian student movement in CA? A good guy? Why did he then have no qualms about regular trips to Iran?

Hmmm...
