Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Idiots in Iran sentenced
The American hikers that were detained in Iran for the past two years under suspicion of espionage were sentenced to 8 years in prison.
I call them idiots cause you can't be very bright if you think hiking around between Iran and Iraq makes for a nice vacation.

As dumb as Laura Ling and Euna Lee who got captured in North Korea.
anybody want to go hiking in north korea?
You think they are idiots or are CIA who were captured.
I'd bet the they weren't tourists.
I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

I tend to agree with this. Since that IS just a terrible decision to go hiking right at that spot I lean towards the idea that they were up to something else.

They weren't tourists, they were leftist activists that I suspect where there hoping to snap photos of OUR guys doing something bad.
The irony is that they likely WERE spies, but for some leftist cause and they were probably sympathetic to the Iranians (and other brown peoples brutalized by the evil West).
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
Agree with last- only some utopian, peace-loving goofballs would go hiking without a guide in the Middle East. Just like those stupid missionaries in the movie "John Rambo".
They were small time journalists. The sad thing is we had them back under our control for the longest time and we could have told Iran to just fuck off. We are throwing our own under the bus here.
