During the shah’s time, the label used was “Communist.” Nowadays the label used is “Zionist.” I would have defended Roxana Saberi regardless if I agreed or disagreed with the NPR, BBC or the Fox News. <BR/><BR/>You and I are bloggers. I wrote this piece, and you posted your comments. Imagine if a government did not like my post or your comments and used labels against us and put us in jail, without charging us with any serious crime or without offering any proof. We would have expected everyone to defend our rights, no matter if they agreed with my post or your comments. Freedom of press is not a slogan, is a basic right we need to defend.Nader Uskowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808543185109048956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-31593615919811040092009-04-07T03:50:00.000-04:002009-04-07T03:50:00.000-04:00Reporting from Iran for the NPR, BBC and other new...<I>Reporting from Iran for the NPR, BBC and other news organizations,</I><BR/>By other news organisations you mean the bastion of free speech <B>FOX NEWS</B>. most journilist working for FOX News are indebted to the Zionist cause, how else would you get a job at Murdoch's papers before pledging absolute loyality to the zionist cause?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
