I guess it’s left to me to say what everyone else is thinking. How many kinds of stupid does one have to be to go hiking on the Iraqi-Iranian border in 2009? I’m sure they’re not spies, I’m sure that they’re good people, and I’m also sure they’re smarter today than they were the day they were captured. I feel sorry for their families. But I’m not sure why the American government should spend any political capital to bail their reckless/dumb asses out.
