NEW YORK – An American woman who was held in Iran for more than 13 months and accused of espionage said Sunday she and two men detained with her never spied or committed any crime, calling their arrest "a huge misunderstanding."
Discussing her experience at the most length since her release Tuesday, Sarah Shourd underscored her gratitude at being released but said she felt only "one-third free" because her fiance, Shane Bauer, and their friend Josh Fattal remain in Tehran's notorious Evin Prison.

Is there anyone here who ever believed that “hiking” tale from the beginning? I don’t claim to know WHAT this threesome was doing there, but seriously, who goes hiking in a war zone at the border of Iran?
Stupid Hippies.
In a situation like that; if someone wanted me to “hike” into Iran- I’d tell them to take a hike. ;)
“f she’s not a spy, she may be a: liberal, patsy or just dumb.”
Yes, to all of the above, we might add just another hippie thinking if they just show their peace, love and understanding they can change the world
Sounds to me like a Rachel Corrie wannabe.
She’s too dumb to be a spy.
Duh!! - everyone has known that from the beginning - including the Iranians
Isn't that triply redundant.

With her friends still in Iran if she is not a total idiot she would say very little and nothing bad about Iran.
Where was she when she was wearing this scarf, and giving these press releases? And, WHY was she wearing this scarf???
Well she might have learned a bit of sense when you read this part from the news article.
“Composed but occasionally pausing when her voice wavered with emotion, Shourd thanked Iranians and Ahmadinejad in a carefully scripted return that spoke to the continuing delicacy of her situation. She didn’t take questions or discuss the conditions in which she’d been held...”
Now she’s just another useful idiot.
What’s your opinion on who would she be working for? I thought they were just hippie types who were dumb.
The scarf could be a condition of her release as in Iranians saying “wear this scarf and things will go better for your friends”
