Silly, don’t you know that only Libyan terrorists are released for health reasons?
Seriously....what is the story on these “hikers”?
Cruel.
They’re waiting to see if the Koran burning happens. If so, she goes nowhere.
It’s very cruel, you’re right. I heard she was not well.
“Disturbing games ... “
Yes. This is what they do to the entire population - and it takes its toll.
I was thinking that they were waiting for their nuclear weapons to come on line. Until then, they need her as a human shield. If the USA or Israel bombs the nuclear plants, then she's gone.

This is very sad. They’ve been over there for over a year. What in the world possessed them to go hiking in Iraq?
This is very sad. They’ve been over there for over a year. What in the world possessed them to go hiking in Iraq?It sure doesn't make much sense, does it? Even foolish people shouldn't have to be prisoners in Iran though. Makes me shiver thinking about it.
There has got to be more to this hiking story than we will ever know ?
They’re waiting to see if the Koran burning happens. If so, she goes nowhere.I wondered if that might be the case, because they didn't say they'd release her to begin with until the whole Koran-burning issue came up. So they were in effect, just "using" her.
Although Iran is primarily a Persian country - as opposed to Arabic/Muslim, I’m sure they’ll milk this for all it’s worth.
We do not need to go after Irans nukes, just get the coordinates on all the Irainina big shors houses and launch a coulple hundred drones. Strike terror into their hearts worked wonders on ol Omar Khaddafi.
I can see how the Iranians are suspicious- they’re nuts. But I wonder if these three aren’t just some idealistic, albeit very naive kids somehow trying to show their kinship or solidarity with their oppressed Arabic brothers. P.S. I realize Iranians aren’t Arabs
