.... or better health care?
We still don’t know if they may release them.
I don’t really care if they release them at all. Berkeley students...ha! Screw them.
Another FReeper who knows members of one family, said that one hiker (Josh Fataal) was in Iraq researching family roots. I think the FReeper said Josh’s grandfather was Iraqi. The 3 were on a hiking trail that is within Iraq, but is watched by Iranian patrols. It is believed that they were abducted and brought over the border into Iran.

You beat me to it, that was exactly my thought.
My prediction: In a couple of weeks, they'll be released, and Obama will be given huge credit for his brilliant negotiating skills.
We won't be told what Iran got in return.
If they weren’t Berkley Peace Studies graduates, I might be able to see your point.

Why does it matter what school they went to?
They’re American citizens abducted/kidnapped by Iran
If we can think of it, then certainly the Fraud’s handlers can, but are they stupid enough to think this will actually give the messiah an Iran “bounce”?
Will Maxine feel any less tired?
Will this re-energize votes from his base?
Stay tuned next week when that Krazy Kenyan Kommie pulls a rabbit out of his hat!
I posted this on the other thread with the same subject:
LESSON:
Tresspass into Iran - get arrested, lose 1/2 your body weight and end up in prison for 8 years.
Tresspass into the United States of America - get free food, subsidized housing, free education, free medical care, jobs, throw your trash everywhere, spit on the citizens, and you dont even have to speak English.

You believe what Big Media tells us?
I’d say if Iran executed them, the students would be eligible for a Darwin Award. What were they thinking???
“If someone, even a fellow citizen, goes sticking pins in rattlesnakes, I feel no obligation to dive into the snake pit to extricate him.”
How is hiking a scenic trail “ sticking pins in rattlesnakes”? And no one is asking you to “dive into the pit”. Even standing around the pit trying to help or give advice or showing concern is different from standing around the pit laughing or making snide remarks & walking away.
Good. Idiots.
I believe what a FReeper who is familiar with the family said.
And I think I’m pretty familiar with how IRI likes to operate.
