This section is very big and not proportional to the size of article. I think these must be rationalized and few important ones kept. Mahanchian 12:17, 31 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Criticism

edit

Why is the criticism so high in the order of the page, even before some of the most important parts of this persons history? It is almost as if it was moved up in a purposeful way to discredit him. Moving it down after his main bio and history where it should be. 96.31.177.52 (talk) 23:58, 28 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

The article never says that he left Iran after his arrest.

Spy?

edit

In the arrest section the following sentence appears following a list of what he confessed in his televised confession:
"He indeed handed to Jason Jones and his producer in a hotel in Tehran, a list of media-friendly individuals in Iran only a couple of days before the Daily Show interview. [6]
This makes it sound like some kind of evidence that he was spying or promoting overthrow of the regime.

What is "indeed" or spy-like or insurgent or anti-government about passing on media-friendly individuals to media??? (I've seen the Jason Jones segment and its a gag where he (Jones) plays a fake neocon FOX News-type idiot making a fool of himself looking for anti-American sculldugery, and Bahari plays the laid back Iran-expert telling him he's wrong.) AND if there was something spy-like about what he did there would have to be someone saying there was, which the source provided does not. I.E. that sentence is not only libleous it's also WP:OR--BoogaLouie (talk) 18:25, 9 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

No mention of the Daily Show interview?

edit

Wasn't his interview with Jason Jones on The Daily Show used as an excuse for his arrest? But it's not even mentioned at all here. JDDJS (talk to mesee what I've done) 19:02, 3 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
