No? But I'll bet she's a moslem.

Why go to Iran when there are 57 states in America they could hike through...

Think about it... Those left behind are still at risk-so you play their PR game. When in Iran do as an Iranian would do...

Also in the same time frame is/was the case of captured Iranian spy (one, two or even said even triple agent), Shahram Amiri. Saudi intelligence or CIA captured [?] in summer of '09-returned a little over a year later to Iranian soil.

" Amiri touched down on Iranian soil this month (July), the Iranian public relations campaign kicked into an even higher gear, depicting his return as the third success at the expense of the CIA in recent months. The first success being the capture of Jundallah terrorist leader Abdulmalik Rigi in February and the second the freeing of a kidnapped Iranian diplomat in northwest Pakistan in late March."

If you want to get into a country like Iran, you hike--you get caught.. you got lost.

Worse scenario: trial and conviction-a death sentence (Iran).

Remember also there are people keeping you safe at night in the shadows. Don't be quick to judge on "appearances" or what is allowed to be reported.

Some countries are very sensitive about border crossings from foreigners!

The movie “Spies like us” with Chevy Chase and Dan Ackroyd comes to mind as well.

If she wasn’t a Muslim, she probably is now.

I used that until recently, when I discovered "moslem" is disgraceful insult to the murdering scum.

In times past, textbooks and assorted media used Moslem as the default spelling. Nowadays Muslim is the variant in use so I picked up on that word. I’ll read up on the word Moslem to see how it offends them.

Back in the day, one needed “Theater Clearance” prior to entering the battle space. At the very least they would need to be visaed up before landing in Iraq. I can’t imagine an Iraqi consular officer in Washington would authorize visas for people like them to hike near Kurdistan or Iran. If they wanted a real adventure, they should’ve tried hiking the Darien Gap from Panama into Colombia. I’d rather be a “guest” of the FARC than at Evin prison in Teheran.

She’s a well documented lib, and I don’t think libs work for the CIA.

Her friends are well documented libs, too.

I don’t for a moment think they were spies.
