She lived there for six years without a problem. This is all about Iran trying to prove that the US is a paper tiger. They wouldn't have tried this crap when Bush was President.
I think your perception that FReepers blame the victim because she was taken hostage by a hostile gov’t. as opposed to pirate is grossly incorrect. You yourself point out that she lived there for 6 years without a problem. Honestly, how long do you need to live there to absorb the culture? I think it might be legitimate to believe that she was a spy. I wonder if buying alcohol illegally was part of her duties.
Well I dunno, theres that former FBI fellow that been missing for months, nothing has been done..
