It's no shocker that the 3 hikers are really 3 stupid liberals thinking the Iraq-Iran boarder is a cool place to go hiking...probably with the expectation that they could later boast how loving the Iranians are.

and they’ll come back here saying how great they were treated etc and how America is behaving badly to the middle east bla bla.

Funny how the country they are ashamed of is the one they want to help them.

Have you seen the men, if you can call them that?
Right couple of pansies and the women is the typical far lefty.

what is it with lefty men and women anyway?
The men are all girlie and the women look like they are homosexuals or boys.
Either way lefty men and women have no class, no grace, no style and certainly no brains.

Maybe that’s why they need bumper sticker slogans.

Homing pigeons.

Simply track them to the targets.

Who paid for their ‘hiking’ trip? Would any parent in their right mind recommend that their kids go hiking in one of the most dangerous places in the world? With all of the Earth to pick from, you go hiking along the Iranian border? Either these three are the dumbest kids to leave home or they had some ‘point’ to make and got bankrolled from someone. Where is the common sense?

Their families and US officials have said the three - all graduates of the University of California, Berkeley - are completely innocent.

I don’t need to hear anymore than they were from Berkeley. Bad deal paying $500,000 for a lefty moron.

Perhaps some. But probably unlikely in this case.

What’s wrong with ...

1) hiking in Colorado/Utah
2) sending the difference to the poor, which they claim to love?

A conservative is a liberal who has been locked up indefinitely in an Iranian prison on trumped-up charges.

"what is it with lefty men and women anyway? The men are all girlie and the women look like they are homosexuals or boys."

Eunuchs looking for a strong leader to tell them what to do?

Of course not! Don't' you understand, it was all Bush's fault.

It sounds like their fortunes are well deserved.
