Kian Tajhbakhsh and Haleh E. were both arrested while we were in Iran. So were the businessmen who have yet to be named.<BR/><BR/>Rosebuds, are you in Iran? If not, you should know that the country has a very powerful rumor mill.

All the signs were there for this current rollback of rights. It's just that most people in Iran wanted to ignore them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092236941440210165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467559.post-6433708925688142422007-06-14T06:20:00.000+03:302007-06-14T06:20:00.000+03:30well, at least you did not get used as a hostage??...well, at least you did not get used as a hostage??...interesting how you knew to take vacation just before they starting arresting americans/iranians, still I loved your view of Iran, honest yet in the end naive considering you are lucky to have been on "vacation" just before all dual citizens were arrested??"...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
