Caught off guard

So, a while ago a reporter contacted me about my blog and wanted to quote me on the Persian Version piece. Only thing was he was from the US State Department and writes for America.gov. In any case, here's what he wrote. Despite any scruples I might have had about the journalistic integrity of someone who works for the US (or any) government, I agreed to his request and was fine with what he wrote. Just the latest reminder of how the strange, online spaces of the internet can bring you into contact with people you never thought you'd be talking to.
