Maziar Bahari is an Iranian Newsweek journalist who was interviewed by Jason Jones of The Daily Show when Jones was in Iran during their tumultuous election earlier this year. After the interview, Bahari was arrested, held and interrogated for over 100 days because the government didn't understand that The Daily Show is a satirical news program:

Have you read the Newsweek article? It really is amazing and inspiring and horrifying on the same time.
Anyway, thanks for putting up his interview with Jon. I didn't even know he'd been on there.
I haven't read the article. I'll have to check it out. It seems so...surreal almost. I can't believe he was held so long over The Daily Show. Sheesh.
