3 Americans charged as spies

Three Americans who were arrested by Iranian border guards in late July after crossing into Iran from neighboring Iraq have been charged with espionage, a top Iranian prosecutor said Monday.

Good. What the hell they doing there without a US military uniform on? There are people dying on those lands and they treat it as a fun little adventure that mom and dad most likely paid for. The World's a big place and they pick Iraq?

How can you possibly blame the Americans? You think it's OK for the Iranian terrorist nation to kidnap them? You're actually taking the side of the terrorists over the Americans? MOVE THERE, if you love 'em so much.

They seem like world citizens. Boarders are inventions of minds that can't grasp the nuances of global citizenship, right? Well let them sit and gather material for the books they want to write. In the mean time, the CIA should send them the best lawyers money can buy...I think it's in their contract.

Of all the places to go for a hike they pick THAT PLACE??? What the he11 is wrong w/ them??? Havin' a hard time feelin' sorry for stupidity...

[Numbskulls]

Well, they're screwed now. Sad, these young naive "activist/journalists " craving adventure have stepped over into a nightmare. Maybe Hillary can get Bill to go over there and save their butts like he did recently in north korea.

Will Obama rise to the occassion and go up against Iran?

Oh sorry I lost myself there for a moment. The answer is No.

Obama thinks Iran has made the world a better place.

maybe those idiots love the terrorists so much and they were deciding to move there like you suggest...how moronic are you? These idiots are going to waste a ton of money and resources trying to get them out of there...why? so they can get a book or movie deal? Just like the ballon dad, they should have to repay every cent that is spent on getting them home.

They should have hiked the rocky mountains, not Iran, dont they have any brains,read the paper for christs sake,dont they know there is a war going on over there.NEWS FLASH DON'T TRAVEL IN A WAR ZONE OR NEAR ONE,YOU MAY BE CAPTURED.YOU WANT TO GO TO IRAN THEN PUT ON A UNIFORM, STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES. LOL ON THAT ONE.

[lobster68w]

Well, of course Iran will use them to get something. We proved with B. Clinton's little jaunt to North Korea to "rescue" two complete idiot Americans that the US will do something to get them out. Wonder how much of a payout Iran is looking for. This will go way above the State Department working to get these idiots out. Lets see how the BO White House plans to handle this one.

It looks like some friendlies sold them out to Iranians. Poor kids are lucky to be alive and sound in a prison. Could be much much worse in Iraq

[Paper Pusher]

Okay, I really hate saying this but in this scenario I would really have to say these three would be considered what many in this world refer to as "stupid Americans."

The common and most used phrase in this case is...what the hell were they thinking?

Actually, cross burning is protected free speech.

Hell, you're the alien I'm afraid of. You're probably scarey looking too. Your thought process is out of this world - and I do mean that literally.

Iran is going to play this for everything they can for as long as they can. I remember the last hostage crisis. This won't be settled so quickly.

maybe YOU should join the armed forces and show them how it SHOULD be done....just remember first though, " don't ask, don't tell"

Only lefty moonbats would go hiking in Iran. They don't realize the rest of the world doesn't bow to their precious little feelings. Hiking in Iran was stupid. The Dear Leader will be no help.

Any gaping anal sphincters like "Lycan" who think America is evil are more than welcome to take up residence in another more friendly nation. In other words, GTFO of here.

You are absolutely correct. Obungle is even more stupid than Carter, so we can expect a messed up attempt at a solution.
