Hostages? Yawn.
Did you know that Iran is holding four Americans hostage? Mark Steyn tells us about them and about what happened to an Iranian hostage four years ago.
Excerpt after the jump.
Two months in an Iranian jail is no fun. Four years ago, a Montreal photo-journalist, Zahra Kazemi, was arrested by police in Tehran, taken to Evin prison, and wound up getting questioned to death. Upon her capture, the Canadian government had done as the State Department is apparently doing – kept things discreet, low-key, cards close to the chest, quiet word in the right ears. By the time Zahra Kazemi’s son, frustrated by his government’s ineffable equanimity, got the story out, it was too late for his mother.
…
The following year, Shahram Azam, a physician who’d examined Kazemi’s body, fled Iran and said that she had broken fingers, a broken nose, a crushed toe, a skull fracture, severe abdominal bruising, and internal damage consistent with various forms of rape. Quite an accident.
Indeed, and it’s likely what will happen to your fellow Americans held in the kindly embrace of those who have sworn to kill or enslave us no matter the cost.
The MSM is ignoring the story, for the most part. I’ve not seen it on any nightly newscast. No cable news station is running regular updates. Very few people seem to care that Iran has committed yet another act of war against us. Certainly the MSM could care less. They have quite another narrative to tell and four helpless Americans held by barbaric murderers is not part of it.
