    I found this interesting. Nothing different, typical Iranian bull(*)(*)(*)(*). What I'm wondering if would Erdogan help them despite he's a conservative. I hope our "beloved" prime minister won't ignore this call...

    Don't expect anything from turkey right now. They are to busy to cover for a known terrorist entity to care about innocents.

    WTF are Three American "Hikers" doing in contested territory on the border with Iran?

    This is akin to little me having a "Hiking Holiday" in America and setting up my little hiking tent in the Arizona desert right next to the Mexican border.

    ....And then wondering afterwards why something bad happened to me.

    What Sarah Shourd's Release Says About Iran's Infighting...

    What the Hiker Release Says About Iran's Internal Power Struggle
    Wednesday, Sep. 15, 2010 - There will undoubtedly be some observers who will take Iran's release of an American hiker held for more than a year on spying charges as a portent of rapprochement in the fraught U.S.-Iran relationship, but that would be unwise. Nothing is ever simple when it comes to the Islamic Republic, and the tug-of-war between different arms of the Iranian government that preceded Sarah Shourd's release on Tuesday reveals a level of chaos and political infighting inside the regime that could complicate future diplomatic efforts.

    That's pretty screwed up. Although I guess being a journalist in Turkey still isn't as dangerous as being one in Northern Mexico.

    Actual spies dont dress themselves as citizens of their own country, it dum to get yourself into a position you are likely to get arrested as a spy dont you think?

    Hiking in Syria or any other country the borders with Iran can get you to traspass as ther are no signs or fences in those areas, your onlyu indication is the Army jeep that picks you up and by then iots too late.
