Iran Frees American Hikers

American VoicesOpinion ISSUE 47•39 Sep 23, 2011

Two American hikers who were captured and accused of spying when they strayed across the border into Iran have been freed after 26 months. What do you think?

  • “Wait a second, the only way Iran would've let the hikers go is if they turned them into double agents. Just to be safe, we'd better lock them up when they get back.”

    Amy Halward –
    Systems Analyst

  • “Those poor things. Just when they think their ordeal is over, they now have to find out how Lost ends.”

    Randy Watton –
    Feed-In Worker

  • “Years in detainment far from home, sham charges against them, how could a nation do something like this?”

    Andrew Gray –
    Unemployed
