Journalist Roxana Saberi Freed

This is great news for Roxana, of course, and U.S. Iranian relations.

U.S.-born journalist Roxana Saberi walked free Monday after an Iranian appeals court cut her eight-year jail sentence for spying to a suspended two-year term in a case that had further strained U.S.-Iranian relations.
Saberi, whose was jailed on April 18 on charges of spying for the United States, would be allowed to leave the Islamic Republic but it was not immediately clear when she would do so, her lawyers and a judiciary source said.
The 32-year-old freelance journalist and former Miss Dakota was released from Tehran's Evin prison. "She has just left and is on the way to their house," defense lawyer Abdolsamad Khorramshahi said.
A citizen of both the United States and Iran, Saberi was arrested in late January for working in the Islamic Republic after her press credentials had expired. She was later charged with espionage, a charge that can carry the death sentence.
Her case became a problem for Tehran and Washington at a time when U.S. President Barack Obama sought to reach out to the Islamic state after three decades of mutual mistrust. Reuters
