Little fanfare accompanined Stewart’s optioning of the book, which has a connection to “The Daily Show”: Bahari’s Iranian captors used his past appearance on the show as evidence against him. Bahari had taken part in a sketch in which correspondent Jason Jones interviewed three outspoken critics of Iran, including the journalist.

I remember that show, and how upsetting it was to later hear that man was arrested. I'm glad Jon Stewart took on the project.
