  I read in a review that the author does a great job likening her experience in the Iran's judicial system to that of the German Stasi and the Russian system of interrogation and detention. Can she comment on this please?

  Thanks for this segment.

  Perhaps we can hear from one of the thousands innocents who were herded through and tortured at Guantanamo or Bagram or Abu Ghraib.

  The treatment of Haleh Esfandiari is atrocious, but the US treatment of thousands is worse. An awful commentary on the Bush, and now Obama, policies.

  I wonder if the Obama administration would intervene to try to shut down such an interview.

  Esfandiari has admitted that to the Iran security service she must have looked like "the perfect suspicious person". She has also admitted that everything in her "confession video" was true. But she has never explained why she was, in fact, innocent. If you look at her career ( http://www.peakoil.org.au/news/index.php?esfandiari.htm which includes a link to the video), you too will think she really was guilty as charged by the Iranians. She is actively involved in the US Government's regime change plots and her book is a complete sham.
