Hmm. I wonder what was offered up to have
her sentence commuted?
An Iran court has cut jailed US-Iranian reporter Roxana Saberi's sentence to two years suspended and she will be freed later on Monday, her lawyer says.
The court heard Ms Saberi's appeal against her original eight-year prison sentence on Sunday, after an international outcry.
She will be able to leave the country, but has been banned from working as a journalist in Iran for five years.
She may want to consider becoming a domestic reporter. With her looks she'll fit right in at Fox News.
Ms Saberi was convicted of spying for the US in April but denies the charge.
The case sparked international concern and US President Barack Obama has appealed on her behalf.
Her father Reza expressed joy at the ruling and said he and his wife Akiko were on the way to collect Roxana Saberi from the jail.
