As you may have heard Iran had been holding two American Citizens hostage for the past two years on charges of spying when they accidentally crossed the border of Iraq into Iran while hiking in Iraq's Kurdish Mountain region. Last week the hikers, Shane Bauer & Josh Fattal, were finally released after the US government paid a $500,000 bond for each of them. This weekend they arrived back in the States and held a press conference detailing their experience in Iranian prison. I caught some clips of their press conference and I sympathize with the shittiness of being locked up for 2 years in a fucking desert country but you know what this shit is on them. You want to plan a hiking trip bro? How about fucking Colorado or the French Alps. Do you know what sort of shit storm was going on in Iraq 2 years ago? Who the fuck would be sitting around planning a vacation and thinks to themselves "Oh hey you know what those Kurdish Mountains in Iraq are great this time of year." Yea bro they're great when there's fucking SCUD missiles flying around and terrorists with sniper rifles sitting in those hills. Oh not to mention a shared border with Iran who George W. dubbed as part of the trifecta known as the Axis of Evil. Smooth planning guys. I guarantee Orbitz didn't suggest special rates for the trip to a war zone.
p.s. if these guys were Jewish no shot that Iran would have ever let them go.
