A lawyer for U.S. journalist Roxana Saberi, 31, has vowed to appeal the guilty verdict.

TEHRAN, Iran - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday she is "deeply disappointed" by Iran's sentencing of an American journalist in a closed-door trial.

She said Saberi was in Iran to learn more about her cultural heritage.

Well she learned alright.

[Ev Reeman]

Naughty Iran. Tsk, tsk.

[Wissa]

On Thursday, the State Department said Saberi's jailing was not helpful and that Iran would gain U.S. good will if it "responded in a positive way" to the case.

Okay. So Iran arrests and convicts her on trumped up charges, but its an opportunity for them to gain US goodwill? We knew our country would become weaker with Obama in office, but its happening faster than I expected.

warp speed

No kidding. Hang on tight! Its gonna be a wild ride!

[Zack Attack]

At least she was only tried for spying. If she’d been accused of something more severe, such as taking off her headcovering, she may have been sentenced to be shot.

Sure. Obama will turn on his personal charm and express his willingness to work with the Iranian regime to have more peaceful relations. The Iranians will release the woman and cite Obama's intervention thereby inflating Obama's ego even more and sucker him into believing he can talk Iran out of becoming a nuclear power.

Yea,she could have spurred the advances of an Iranian male
and had acid thrown in her face and been blinded and
disfigured.The male pays a small fine and time served.

Clinton 'deeply disappointed'...

Ease off on the rhetoric there you idiot!

You don't want to tick off the POTUS and get yourself fired.

[GeronL]

Saberi was in Iran to learn more about her cultural heritage

and she probably is learning it over and over again

[dfwgator]

As much as I don’t like Hillary, I would feel much better if she was President than that Kenyan usurper.

[UCANSEE2]

It’s the wrong Clinton.

If we really want Saberi rescued, send Bill Clinton.

He’ll have her on a plane within minutes.

[Dr. Ursus]

True,even Hillary wouldn’t be this bad!

[elpadre]

If she is an Iranian citizen, the US probably has no legal right to her, IMO.

Send in the UN Human Right Commission.

[dfwgator]

He’ll have her on a plane within minutes.

And she'll join the "Mile High Club" to boot.

As much as I don’t like Hillary, I would feel much better if she was President than that Kenyan usurper.

Either one of them make the "Impeached in Chief" look good, even.

Maybe Hellary can ask BOZerO's new homie, El Puerco de Venezuela, to negotiate a release with his little Iranian monkey pet.
