In case you missed it, over the last two weeks, The Daily Show broadcast a series of extraordinary "reports" from Jason Jones in Iran. Although Jones visited the country before the election crisis, his stay in Iran --- in particular, his interviews with Iranians --- were a wonderful mix of interchange, humour, and insight. And, as the current conflict escalated, the reports took on a special meaning and poignancy. In the segment below, Jones interviews three people --- former Vice Presidents Ibrahim Yazdi and Mohammad Ali Abtahi and journalist Maziar Bahari --- who have all been detained by the Iranian authorities.
