OK, I am not big on conspiracies but does anyone believe that the US government had something to do with them being there? I do not know that I believe it but I would not be surprised if it came out that the CIA or some other acronym had their hands in this.

Yeah, 27 year old kids!

Any bets as to how they where registered as voters and if/who they voted for in 08?

They where most likely advance people/community organisers for Organizing for America! http://www.barackobama.com/

Curious though. If they were Obama supporters, why do they want to see him grovel to the so and so in Iran for their release?

They think that with Bush gone and the Dear Leader in place everything would be peace and love! They thought they would be praised, admired, and honored for helping to rid the world of dark forces Bush/Cheney. They stood with Iran against Bush, they where on the Iranian side!

You know, the typical fatal brain defect of the left based in the peace, love, unicorns for everyone fantasy! And the Dear Leader groveling, it’s an unintended consequence that is symptomatic of the described mental disorder which render’s them incapable of anticipating reality. And hell he loves it, he thinks he’s great at it, and does it most every chance he gets, especially overseas!

If they were not UC Berkley grads maybe that theory would be plausable.

These guys are just freaken stupid. They should let them rot in jail for a few more months, maybe Al Gore or Clinton can fly over and get them out. The Iranians won't kill them they are far more valuable alive.


OTOH if they wanted to hike in Iraq so bad they should have just joined the Army. Uncle Sam would have paid them to hike all over that country.
