New Jersey and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard -- perfect together?

A torture session in Iran took a strange turn when an elite policeman told his captive, a Newsweek reporter, that he believed New Jersey must be heaven on earth.

In a television interview to air Sunday at 7 p.m. on the CBS show 60 Minutes, reporter Maziar Bahari, an Iranian-Canadian, recounts the Revolutionary Guard's obsession with the Garden State.

The guard seemed to believe sex and alcohol can be enjoyed easily in New Jersey.

“I think the words ‘New Jersey’ sounded to him like the most American place that you can be in your life,” said Bahari, who was held captive for 118 days in an Iranian prison.

“He hated me and he was jealous of me at the same time because I had been to New Jersey.”
