This reminds me of Javed Iqbal, an American satellite dish repairman who was thrown in jail for allowing Americans access (Hezbollah and supposedly Iran backed) Al-Manar television.

Actually the article from NPR, a station often described as liberal, doesn't seem all that incredulous over it happening when the shoe's on the other foot. Headline: "N.Y. Man Charged with Aiding Hezbollah TV Channel". First sentence: "This past week, the Department of Justice charged a New York City man for aiding a terrorist organization.". Geez, to the average American it starts making it sound like he did something wrong and kind of deserves to be in jail. I guess Iranians feel the same way with their guy.

I guess it's a common name, because there are 9 "Javed Iqbal" in Wikipedia. The relevant article is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashcroft_v._Iqbal

That article is about his abuse in by FBI and in prison, not his alleged crimes.

Why are you making insinuations and apparently quoting, but declining to link a source? The info you quoted is basic headline facts, but you insinuate a bias while seemingly making an effort to stop that part of the evidence.
