ROXANA SABERI SET FREE FROM IRAN PRISON, RECEIVES TWO-YEAR SUSPENDED SENTENCE FOR ESPIONAGE... GILAD SHALIT STILL CAPTIVE IN GAZA....

Delara Darabi was put to death mercilessly just a few short days before the freeing of Roxana Saberi. Both in their mid-twenties, Darabi was a local Iranian, whereas Saberi shared dual citizenship with the USA; if there is a message to glean from the harsh treatment of Darabi and the "mercy" shown Saberi, it is that locals can continue to expect harsh "justice" even as a kinder, gentler face is shown to the world at large. The world at large should find this to be a chilling picture of Iran's regime, not unlike all other totalitarian regimes, which offer simplistic analyses of nationhood, history, economics, etc. and which exercise paranoid and repressive behavior within and without national borders. Iran is clearly such a nation. The example of this is the sustained imprisonment of Gilad Shalit in Gaza, the Arab terrorists there receiving fundamental support from Iran.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: DID YOU HEAR DELARA DARABI 'SCREAM' AND AHMADINIJAD 'LAUGH' AS SHE WAS HUNG? CAN YOU HEAR ROXANA SABERI PRAY?

PRESIDENT OBAMA -- HAS AHMADINIJAD'S MESSAGE GOTTEN THROUGH TO YOU?

Delara Darabi managed to produce compelling artworks during her six-year captivity, until just two days ago, when at the young age of 23, she was 'set free' by the hangman's noose. Only GOD knows, what secrets she took to the grave with her, what tortures, what rapes....

Is Roxana Saberi next in line for the hangman's noose? She is a journalist, having the young, solid feet of her joint citizenship split between Iran and the USA; what must she be thinking, feeling, dreading -- and experiencing -- as she 'paints' her own prison cell in Iran with the doings of her mind?

President Obama -- what message do you think Ahmadinijad is sending to you? You offered him opportunity for dialogue; so, Mr. President: "How is the conversation going?"

Are you unsure of Ahmadinijad's meaning? Consider asking Gilad Shalit....
