    Shane Bauer and his buddies Josh Fattal and Sarah Shourd were captured "hiking" near Iran's border and put in jail for 2 years before winning their freedom with a bit of international diplomacy. These days Shane reports for Mother Jones. He filed this story about attending a national SWAT convention in Oakland. He got some cool material before a captain revoked his press pass for what seems like spurious reasons.

    Says there will be more videos.

    Shane and Sarah ended up getting married.
