US Hikers Freed from Iran Speak: Thank Penn And Chomsky, Blame Mutual US-Iran Hostility for Detention

--------“The only explanation for our prolonged detention is the 32 years of mutual hostility between America and Iran,” said Bauer. “The irony is Sarah Josh and I oppose U.S. policies towards Iran which perpetuate this hostility. We were convicted of espionage, because we are American.”

I think some of this could be used as a partial plot for the next rambo movie.

Ron White is 100% correct. You CAN'T fix stupid -- it appears NOTHING can fix stupid.

I still wonder what they were doing over there, and why they were “hiking” there. Wonder why they don’t elaborate on THAT.

They learned nothing in two years... maybe we should try twenty.

Seriously, it’s infuriating that two US Citizens, stupid though they are, should have to be ransomed.

I guess Iran isn’t that scared of us. Wonder why?

Looking at their pictures, it appears to me they were trying to establish an LGBT chapter in Tehran.

“What the hell were they doing over there anyways?”

The facts will soon come out explaining that these radicals set this up to be “kidnapped” in order to ramp up leftist calls for closing Gitmo.

“We do not believe such human rights violations on the part of our government justify what has been done to us. Not for a moment. However, we do believe these actions on the part of the U.S. provide an excuse for other governments, including the government of Iran to act in kind.”

These idiots weren't smart enough to argue their own position? How can you equate hiking near a border (super stupid on their part) with bomb-throwing terrorists? I sure as hell hope my tax dollars weren't spent on freeing these two ungrateful idiots.

I sure hope they feel the same when some Muslim radical is just about to lop their heads off.

Slow learners.

BTW - “I oppose U.S. policies towards Iran”...I would love it if some enterprising reporter would ask him a simple follow up question - “Which policy, specifically”.

I haven’t heard anyone ask those fools why they ignored all advice to the contrary and went ahead with their “hike.”

Do not assume that they were “super stupid”.

This was a planned event to embarrass the U.S. by the left.
