| US hikers in Iranian jail
From vacation to years in Iranian prison, a look at hikers' ordeal - CNN.com
So it seems like they are going to be freed shortly after all this time, which is great.
I think out of all the prisons in the world, an Iranian prison would be one of the scariest to be in....however, I guess you could make the argument that of all places to go for a leisurely hike, the Iraq/Iran border would be the LAST place to do so...

Which is why I don't feel sorry for them at all. Are people stupid or what? Americans? In Iran, or near it? Obviously it wouldn't end well.

you guys really think they were just students?
how many students have you heard about who go "hiking" in a war zone??? leaving alone that its on the border of Iran who was facing riots from students (which they were blaming cia ops coming in to stir shit up)...
and Iran treated them great supposedly
a bad jail would be in Turkey or S.E. Asia or in Mexico
