Iran reverses decision to release American Hiker

i ain't sayin what Iran did was right but WHY THE HELL ARE YOU MOUNTAIN CLIMBING IN IRAQ/IRAN. WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN????

I too have been wondering the same thing. Something tells me that there's more to this story then just 3 looney libs hiking and we're being kept in the dark. As far from what I can tell, the media isn't even sure whether they were captured inside Iraq or Iran. If they were in Iraq, no matter how stupid of a thing to do, then Iran is wrong and we should kick the crap out of them for doing it, now if they crossed the border illeglly then thas a different ball game.

I think the moral of the story is this, DON'T GO HIKING IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY THAT IS A WAR ZONE AND A TERRORIST HOTSPOT!!!

I know Iran isn't the nicest country, but if you look at the US...aren't we holding many foreigners without cause...or at least not charging them with anything. We are just detaining them for an undisclosed amount of time?
Make you wonder how many countries want to level the US for such actions.

Are you talking about the prisoners at Guantanamo? If so, they are aren't being held for "trespassing", they're being held because they were "illegal enemy combatants" captured on the battlefield. By the rules of war we COULD have Court Martialed them, stood them against a wall and shot them dead. Our (few) captured soldiers have been killed and mutilated by the Guantanamo detainees' brethren. I think we've treated our prisoners more than fairly.

About like asking why you would go anywhere near North Korea and say you were going to "highlight" human rights violations.

How can that be when we haven't declared it?

Spys. Engaged in battle but not in uniform or under the command and control of a recognized government.

But, that's what I think really happened. Three friends of Cindy Sheehan and CODE Pink thought it would be cool to do this. I am sure that they had Peace, Love, Dope on their minds at some point. Honestly, it doesn't concern me that Iran is holding them, they can continue to do so for all I care. Anyone here plan on going to Iran? I am not. No point other than to liberate their hot women.
