As members of the Iranian Embassy, they probably had some degree of diplomatic immunity. Besides, the terrorist-enablers at the ACLU would have had them out of jail in less than 24 hours anyway. After all, the Leftist lawyers would simply argue that these guys were guilty of nothing more than suspicious videotaping.
I say, expel the diplomatic staff, and close the embassies, of all countries involved with terrorism. Why make it easy for them to operate and support their terrorist networks in the US?
Correction: As members of the Iranian UN Mission...
Btw, we need to shut down the UN Headquarters in NYC and kick all those creeps out too!
