Two American men arrested more than two years ago while hiking along the Iraq-Iran border have been sentenced to eight years in prison on charges that include espionage, state TV reported Saturday, in an apparent sharp blow to hopes their release was imminent.

How much 'BS' is this and what's this really about.?

Yeah this is an example of Location, Location, Location.

I would be worried if one of my friends told me the hiking scene outside of North Korea is wild. I would not let him go.....

This is why you don't go hiking near the Iran border without an armored tank division and perhaps some AirCav.

it would be nice to be able to keep it in your back pocket..

That would be my ideal first location for a summer hike!

how cute...

 

[Reynod]

Actually he is a pretty nice guy ... all the new mods and CR's are good value.

One is now mowing mrface's lawn on weekends ...

 

[verbalizer]

how does one look into reporter status if not moderator.?

 

[Reynod]

Talk to one of the new mods about how they got there.

There are many paths.

There is a bit of a quorum where we discuss new nominees.

We usually select people on the basis of being positive, having initiative, and being good role models for other users.

I completely bucked that trend !!!

They keep me on so the rest of them look good.

Some days I get a bit teary ...

mrface now has the best looking lawn on his street!

I'm really ashamed of what they did but seriously what were those guys thinking ?
Iran's government kills it's people,throws them in jail for no reason,let alone tourists/foreigners.They really shouldn't have come here.
Hope they get free soon though.

According to Iran all US tourists are freelance CIA operatives.

This view is also shared by North Korea.
