TEHRAN, Iran — A joyful Roxana Saberi, shown above, on Tuesday thanked those who helped win her release after four months in a Tehran prison. Her lawyer revealed that the American journalist was convicted of spying for the U.S. in part because she had a copy of a confidential Iranian report on the U.S. war in Iraq. Saberi had copied the report "out of curiosity” while she worked as a translator for a powerful body connected to Iran’s ruling clerics, said the lawyer. A smiling Saberi said she did not have any specific plans but wanted to spend time with her family.
