Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Two American hikers imprisoned as spies in Iran for more than two years were released on bail Wednesday, Iranian and U.S. officials said.
The news of their release comes a day before Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is due to speak at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, both 29, were convicted last month of entering Iran illegally and spying for the United States, and each sentenced to eight years in prison.
They have not yet been seen leaving Evin Prison, but their attorney, Masoud Shafiee, went into the facility earlier in the day with paperwork to show that the $500,000 bail had been paid for each of them.
“O” will of course grandstand like a SOB all over THIS story
will these idiots not get it into their heads that going over there hiking is not a good idea and some muslim countries are not safe for them.
Nah course not.
Where’d the money come from ?

Nah course not.
One questions the timing, and the ransom for the terrorist state.
Will any American politician have the courage to call this $1 million ransom for people kidnapped by the Iranian terrorist regime? Or will they all keep their ears down and tails between their legs.
I guess the Iranian prison guards had gotten their fill of anally raping the American useful idiots.
good question. Did this admin actually pay for this and if so will the media report on this new policy.
LOL NO COURSE NOT WE DON’T HAVE A FAIR MEDIA ANYMORE
Glad you guys are out, but that was a DUMB choice for an area to hike in. How about the Rockies, or Northern California or the Adirondacks? Heck, I-80 in Ohio would be a better choice (if you like seeing semi after semi, that is).
From looking at their pictures on another site, neither of them look very bright, but we knew that already.
Who in his right mind goes “hiking” on the Iran-Iraq border?
These guys are now internationally convicted felons. Will it affect their 2nd Amendment rights if they are so inclined (doubtful in view of their mush-headedness, but they are young)?
It says Oman paid for the girl, so they may have paid for the two men as well.
IIRC, these folks are more or less activists.

Where all the rest of the money comes from. From YOU and ME!!
Spies?
I guess the same type of people who pleasure boat off the coast of Somalia.
soooo 2(3) anti American Hikers decide to tip toe into Iran from Iraq “as a vacation” to show solidarity to Ach-shmeg-dinnerjacket the terrorist and it backfires on them...
and now we are suppose to say YAY!.
they should have been left to rot there...
