...Still, a different pretext could be found for releasing the detained Iranians. The U.S. is trying to hand over to Iraqi authorities all 15,000 or so detainees currently held by the U.S. in Iraq, and that would include the three Iranians (whose detention was publicly condemned by Iraqi authorities). "We're in the process of working with the Iraqis on how to transfer the Iranians and all detainees to Iraqi custody," said Geoff Morrell, spokesman for the Defense Department. If that happens, it's a safe bet they'll be freed...
...Indeed, congress participants across the board saw little cause for concern. "There's no reason to worry," said Manuel Mayner, whose company, Sepinum, is working with the Spanish government to launch a Ham Route which will guide tourists past some of the country's best ham-producing farms. "We've had hysteria surrounding influenzas before and nothing happened. We'll survive this one too."

Without the international pressure, as well as appeals by both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, many suspect, Saberi could still be sitting in prison, like others charged with similar crimes, whose cases have not received similar international attention. Among them is Silva Harotonian, an Iranian-Armenian humanitarian aide worker charged with "plotting a soft revolution...
...Holocaust survivors present said it was not their place to pick apart the Pope's remarks, but there was not the resounding gratitude that John Paul II received upon his visit in 2000. "It was OK. I'm satisfied," said Ed Mosberg, a Krakow native and New Jersey resident whose parents and two sisters were killed by the Nazis. "It's important that he came...
