American Hikers Go Free


Shane Bauer and Joshua Fattal have spent the last two years in an Iranian jail, but this morning bailed their way out and were set to return to the United States. The pair had been hiking along the Iran-Iraq border with Bauer's soon to be wife, Sarah Shourd, when they were arrested and charged with espionage. Sarah made bail last year, but the other two had to suffer through another year.

I am not sure why anyone would actually want to go hiking there or along that particular border. Everyone has always proclaimed their innocence, but who wakes up one morning and says, "You know what we should do today?" "No, not go to the movies. Lets go hiking along the Iran-Iraq border."
