POPS NewYork Times Useful Idiot & Tehran Apologist I'm familiar with the synagogue and attended it when I lived in Isfahan. I chatted with some of the university-aged students who had taken shelter in an attached guesthouse because, as Jews, they were beat up in the university dormitories. Cohen has earned a place in Times history next to Herbert Matthews and Walter Duranty. Update: Perhaps Cohen should talk to Roxana Saberi, 31, who has reported from Iran for the BBC and NPR. If he can locate her, with the help of his good friends in Iran. The UK Times reports: called her father in the United States on February 10 to tell him that she had been arrested for buying a bottle of wine. "She called from an unknown place and said she's been kept in detention," Reza Saberi said. "She said that she had bought a bottle of wine and the person that sold it had reported it and then they came and arrested her." Buying or selling alcohol is a crime in the Islamic republic.
