"3 Americans charged with espionage in Iran; Prosecutor says ‘final decision’ to be made soon" by William Branigin, Washington Post | November 10, 2009
WASHINGTON - Three Americans who were arrested by Iranian border guards in late July after crossing into Iran from neighboring Iraq have been charged with espionage, a top Iranian prosecutor said yesterday....
The three - Shane Bauer, Joshua Fattal, and Sarah Shourd - were hiking in the mountains of Iraq’s northern Kurdish region July 31 when, according to their families, they strayed across the border accidentally.
What a STRANGE PLACE for "hiking" and a STRANGE PLACE for a "VACATION," huh?
Authorities in Tehran confirmed three days later that the three had been arrested, and an Iranian Arabic-language television network quoted police sources as saying they were “CIA agents.’’
In Berlin, where she was attending ceremonies marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called for the release of the Americans.
“We believe strongly that there is no evidence to support any charge whatsoever,’’ Clinton said at a news conference. “And we would renew our request on behalf of these three young people and their families that the Iranian government exercise compassion and release them so they can return home, and we will continue to make that case.’’
I always assume this lady is plowed with drink now because she says the most idiotic things. How long those innocents being held at Gitmo, lady?
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, asked about the case yesterday during a visit to Turkey, said....
I cut it there because I didn't want you to read the MSM mistranslation.
WHAT was Ahmadinejad doing in TURKEY and WHY does my "newspaper" NOT TELL ME (and never gets back to us, either, readers)??
Bauer, 27, and Shourd, 31, are freelance journalists who were living together in Damascus, where Shourd also taught English and was studying Arabic, friends and relatives said. Fattal, 27, is a friend of Bauer’s who was visiting the Middle East to explore his father’s roots in Iraq, friends said. All three graduated from the University of California at Berkeley.
I'm NOT BUYING the BS COVER STORY and NEITHER are the Iranians!
Bauer, an Arabic speaker from Minnesota who graduated from Berkeley in 2007 with a degree in Arabic and peace and conflict studies, is a Middle East correspondent for New American Media and has written for publications including the Nation magazine, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Los Angeles Times, and Slate.com. Shourd has written for Brave New Traveler, an online travel magazine.
I SMELL SPIES, readers!!!
Remember the SOURCE of this article!
After their arrest, the three were moved to Tehran, where they are being held in the notorious Evin prison....
That anything like the Gitmo hell-hole or the secret torture dungeons the U.S. administers?
And this is one time I'm not listening to mother:
"Mother of hiker detained in Iran denies spy claim" by Associated Press | November 11, 2009
Oh, well, then they must be what my lying, agenda-pushing, cover-up MSM tells me then! Heard it from Mom!
(Blog editor rolls eyes)
MINNEAPOLIS - The mother of one of three detained Americans accused of espionage by Iranian authorities said yesterday that the group is innocent and she hopes their fates will not get tangled in deadlocked negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.
Then why you linking them, lady?
Cindy Hickey of Pine City, Minn., told the Associated Press that the families are trying to avoid getting pulled into the tense relationship between the United States and Iran. Hickey’s son, Shane Bauer, 27, was taken into custody near the Iraqi border in late July along with Sarah Shourd, 31, and Josh Fattal, 27.
Their families say the three friends, all graduates of the University of California, Berkeley, were simply on a hike. But a senior Iranian prosecutor on Monday accused them of espionage, the first signal that Tehran intends to put them on trial. That has raised concerns the three could be used as bargaining chips during deadlocked negotiations between Washington and Tehran over Iran’s nuclear program.

Just thought I'd throw those in there.
Who knows what the "kids" were up to?
Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, said the three were innocent hikers and should be released. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called the spying charges baseless.
Have another drink, Hitlery; maybe you will pass out.
Yes, THEY have LOVED ONES -- as opposed the Muslim monsters we incarcerate and torture, right, AmeriKan MSM?!!!!
Gotta love the hateful, one-sided, war-promoting bias, 'eh?

And a Memory Hole for you:
"3 Americans Held in Iran Are all Jews: Were They Spies? Moreover, the assertions of this journalist contradict the statements of the tourism police in the region of Iraqi Kurdistan. It shall have met the three Americans and have warned of their proximity to the Iranian border, BBC reported. "The tourism police in the region had asked them not to climb mountains because the Iranian border was very close."
