Roxana Saberi Had Confidential Iranian Document

"Iran’s case against U.S.-born journalist Roxana Saberi was based on her acquiring a confidential government report on the U.S. invasion of Iraq, one of her defense lawyers said on Wednesday," Zahra Hosseinian reported from Tehran Wednesday for Reuters.

The Associated Press added, "He says she did so while working as a freelance translator two years ago for the Expediency Council, a powerful clerical body in Iran’s government. "

Her other lawyer, Abdolsamad Khorramshahi, earlier said that Saberi in an appeal hearing on Sunday had "accepted she had made a mistake and got access to documents she should not have. But there was no transfer of any classified information."

If that is the case, then she is one lucky girl!
