Last time, IRI called Roxanna Saberi a spy and sentenced her 8 years in jail also......coincidentally IRI's diplomats, jailed in Iraq, got released by US troops.........and then Roxanna's 8 year sentence was suspended!

This time, lets see who is going to blink first!

IRI never mentioned what evidence they have that these 2 guys are spies!

IRI has been calling everyone spy: Neda, Neda's fiance, the 7 Bahais, etc.........it is bull!

Ahmadinejad Caught *Hiking* on US / Mexican Border

I didn't believe their hiking story ... most people (even Americans didn't buy it either).  Do you think the U.S. would buy that Ahmadinejad was *hiking* if they caught him on the US/Mexico border?

I hate to see any tensions

I hate to see any tensions between Iran and US since it usually becomes Iran and the rest of the world (except Syria and North Korea). 

I copied one of the most popular "liked" comments in yahoo.canada news under the blog news.

"If they were Iranians found illegally entering America they'd be off to Guantanamo for waterboarding." Sweet Bobby Gee
