Free Haleh Esfandiari

Haleh Esfandiari is stuck in an Iranian prison.

You'd think we'd be all over this, considering the woman is an American citizen, the mother of American children and indeed, even a grandmother of American children. You would think this would be the perfect bargaining chip for those who would wish to strike up in outraged voices saying, "how dare they detain this woman!" You'd think it'd be the perfect time for a reprise of Iran Contra, how we're going to do it right this time, how we're not going to let that sort of thing happen again, how wrong it all is and shouldn't that nation be ashamed of itself?
