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?

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.
