Here is a video report on three American hikers that were arrested by Iran over the weekend. Iran is now saying they are "suspicious" that the three are connected to the "American CIA." MSNBC reports the identity of the three as Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd, and Josh Fattal. They were apparently hiking in the mountainous Kurdistan region of Iraq and strayed over the border into Iran where they were arrested. The State Department says they are assisting the families of the three with information. . . . . . (Watch Video)

I’m suspicious, too. If they were CIA, they wouldn’t have been caught that way..

There was a report on Kare 11 News(Minneapolis) that one of the guys is a “free lance” journalist from Minnesota.

Oh Puhleeeze...if those guys are CIA, I’m the VA regional head of ACORN...

No the CIA efforts would be more sophmoric and would rely almost soley on Iranian nationals who present themselves as something they are not.

America and the CIA seem unable to grasp the term "counter intelligence" or think that only the West is capable of it.

Ah so, another one of those tests Crazy Joe was talking about for Der Messiah to fail.

I suspect them to be peace creeps. I would almost dare Iran to beat them daily until they give up each and every one of their CIA secrets. Then I think that there's a one in a million chance that they're really monumentally ignorant slack-jawed idiots who innocently thought that walking around in the Iraqi mountains near Iran was a good idea. So I won't.

But it is only a one in a million chance.

Looked like hippies to me. One of them is from Oregon, what a shocker.
