Well, if she killed a guy with a hammer, what did she expect?

A cookie?

I expect Iran to issue a ban on hammers. Hammers kill, you know.

This is Iran. We have no idea whether she really killed anyone, or what the circumstances were. Women are hung for killing in self-defense all the time in Iran.

You say a guy???

I don’t know of any Muslim I would call a “guy”.

Other names come to mind. W(P)uss, Baby, or Godless pervert.

Who really cares if another tolerant moderate muslim meets his maker.

Well, considering that here in the US, people that commit the most infamous, brutal, heinous crimes get more consideration than the victim.....where’s the outrage from the leftist humanitarians? Oh, my bad, I forgot that they are all BO supporters now, soooooo.....anything goes.

Or a jury of her peers?

Or the right to an attorney?

Or due process?

Or Miranda rights?

Don't forget Obama is going to engage the Iranian leadership in dialogue... That should improve things.

“Why is the woman news ?”

Because in the PC version of the news room(well in America at least) a womans life is of far more value than a mans....

Just a guess...

Because they hanged Delara Darabi last week.
The regime wants to scare Roxana Saberi and thumb their noses at the U.S.

In this instance Iran has it over the US. Here, the mudering of husbands by wives wifes is justified. “He made me wear high heels...” etc.

Iran loves hangings so much they probably have holiday names for them. They already hang in multiples from construction cranes slowly to watch the suffering. Those hung were probably tried and convicted less than an hour before.
