If they're this knowledgeable how could they have been so stupid as to wander into Iran???

Hey! They brought tea to have a sit down to settle the nasty Middle East problems. Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.

.......graduated with honors from UC Berkeley with a degree in Peace and Conflict Studies.

LOLOLOL!! Funniest thing I've read in a while.

What an excellent opportunity to put his skills to work!

My guess is that he'll learn more about "Peace and Conflict Studies" in the next few days than in all of his Berkeley classes. He may want a tuition refund by the time he gets out of there.

UC Berkeley! Oh I'm so familiar with the place. This is truly poetic justice.

Ok my humanity is coming back. Yes I hope they are released but only after the Iranians have scared them half to death. These are the types of crackpots that deserve to be detained. Hiking in the area they were in is for fools. If you want to talk about stupidity, here you have it.

They should have stuck to hiking the Appalachian Trail. Wait that's the wrong coast. They should have stuck to hiking the Sierras.

Would prefer the Iranians keep them for at least the next couple of election cycles. Free them and they just come home and vote Democrat.

Hikers? That’s either got to be the worst cover story on record or these three have the lowest combined IQ test scores ever.
