American Hikers Released

Detained pair leave Iran after posting bail

BBC: Two US men given an eight-year jail term by Iran for spying have been released on bail, reports say. Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal are believed to have left Evin prison and been flown out of the country. The pair were arrested in 2009 after crossing into Iran from Iraq, where they said they were hiking, and were sentenced in September this year. The country's judiciary reportedly set each bail at five billion rials ($500,000)>>>

Well, the price has been established for hostage taking, $500,000 per head!

Just charge it to the billions of dollars of frozen assets.

How much does one's two years of life worth? Plus the solitary confinement, mental abuse and everything else that went with it.

It was my blog!!! You and I did it-together-JJ

They saw my recent blog, and wanted to prove me wrong by showing that Iranians are not vindictive!!  See JJ, we did it together.  I wrote it and you featured it!!  We are both lobbysists for...someone I guess!  Let's indulge in a certain degree of deluions of grandeur, shall we? 

on another note, I smell a book deal.  They'll be millionairs soon.  So, the question that I would like to ask them is this: tell me, honestly, was the 2 years or whatever that you sepnt in jail in Iran worth it for the millions that you will be receiving now?

Whether that that is part of a clandestine mission or just taking your girlfriend for a innocent trill.

  Now, welcome home.

... we can focus on Iranian prisoners who don't get attention from the international community/media.
