Americans In Iran

From USA Today:
"2 hikers held in Iran head home to U.S."

Two Americans freed from an Iranian prison were believed to be on a flight heading to the United States on Sunday from Oman, the Gulf state that helped mediate their release after more than two years in custody on accusations of spying. Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer were scheduled to arrive home on Sunday, according to Samantha Topping, a spokeswoman for their families. The two were released from Tehran's Evin prison under a $1 million bail deal and arrived in Oman on Wednesday in the first leg of their journey home. There they were reunited with joyful relatives. Iran's Foreign Ministry called their release a gesture of Islamic mercy. Sarah Shourd, who was arrested with the men along the Iran-Iraq border but released a year ago, was also in Oman and returning home with them and their families.

^ These three people are complete idiots and deserve everything they got. Only a moron goes to Iraq as a tourist (especially near the Iranian border.) I think it is disgusting how everyone was going crazy to get them released. It is the same with the people who cross into North Korea and get arrested or those that go to Afghanistan as tourists. If you aren't smart enough to know that you are entering a war zone willingly and not as a soldier then whatever happens to you happens. Now these 2 men and 1 woman are seen as some kind of heroes instead of the complete idiots they truly are. Who knows what "under-the-table" deals the US had to make with Iran to get them out? The State Department should take the passports away from these three and never give them back. ^
