< Article. >We might have had another chain about these guys elsewhere, but I'm not looking for it. Anyway, I've heard from a few places that these guys were very, very liberal democrats. After two years in Iranian prisons do you think they still are? Posted by GORDON on Sep. 21 2011,19:21
Were they reporters from Al Gore's "Current" tv station?

No. They were "arrested" for crossing the border into Iran (note that they were "arrested" in Iraq - not Iran - by guards who were basically an unofficial invasion force at that point), then "convicted" in a ridiculous sham of a trial and held hostage until someone paid just under a million dollars to have them released.Basically, Iran as a nation is now kidnapping American tourists from Iraq in order to make some money on the ransom. |
