Kathryn Koob, who was taken hostage in Iran in 1979 talks with host Paul Yeager about her time as a hostage, her views on Iran today, and her belief that one of her captors is a well-known Iranian figure of today.
In 1979, Koob was the director of the Iran-American cultural center. While there, she was abducted and held hostage in Tehran for the 444 days Iranian students. She has chronicled her life in a book called "Guest of the Revolution" and is now an instructor at Wartburg College in Waverly.
The Iowa Journal also shares the views of author Jane Mayer, whose book, "Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals," documents U.S. torture tactics on detainees as part of the post- 9/11 war on terror.
