While my heart goes out to Ms. Saberi, The worst thing that her, her family, and the press can do is make this a media feeding. If theres one thing that Iran loves, it's being the center of attention. This needs to be worked out behind the scenes.

If the media expect to get the truth from Iran, they may have a long wait. Iran isn't known for exactly being open with their own press, much less ours.
