I hope they hugged a tree before they got caught.
man it's time they throw a big bomb on the whole region
just kurrrazzzzy people over there
CIA lol
Sounds cool but the reality is they are a couple Naive, academic, kumbaya type folks.
I'd fire that travel agent.......Kurdistan was/is trying to promote tourism..
Shit,I wouldn't go hiking in some parts of Kentucky.Run like hell if ya hear banjos!
well,as i said,there are some of the worlds highest unclimbed peaks in that region,most of them so obscure they only have names like peak 3879....so if mountaineering was your thing it would be an awesome vacation spot....and theres not much turmoil there...no one lives up there,or more accurately,theres no resources valuable enough for anyone to care....Kurdistan was/is trying to promote tourism..

But seriously, wtf? Who the hell would go on vacation in a place so far off the beaten path and in a region that has so much turmoil???
Cant wait for the "Locked Up Abroad" episode on this one.
they have been in jail for two years,i doubt they have tanning booths or a swimming pool at the jail...and have you ever met an alaskan? you could spend every single day outdoors there and still be pasty,for that matter,ever met a brit?they dont really look the hiker type, hardly 'outdoorsy' to me. That can't really help their case.
i dont know about you guys but i like going to places that are considered 'dangerous' and so do a lot of other people like journalists, photographers, etc.
there was a woman hiker with these guys and she was released due to her poor health.
also they were in iraq not iran and the Iranians came over and arrested them.
hahahaha.... man what's worse is your immediate assumptions of someone based one line. its as if you think i get everything i know from fox news. i don't really watch or read the news and when i do its brief. i don't pick any political sides and don't really have the time nor motivation to investigate everything i may or may not hear on the news the brief time its on in my home.What short memories we have...and the "media" are all too happy to lie to us.
The girl was (supposedly) released because the Iranians don't put women in prison. It had nothing to do with her health. Doesn't anyone remember the real story?
Lies lies lies...do yourself a favor...turn off the TV and throw away the newspapers.
....
Hope prison there is like in Turkey....
.......
I have been to a Turkish Prison, not as an inmate though and neither on the LEO side.
I am not even going to describe how those prisons are because no one here would believe me anyways.....
All I can say is the worst US prison (although I've only seen them on "Lockup") is a 5-Star hotel vs. the "best" (If there is such thing) Turkish one.
They are the ultimate nightmare over there. Kinda like the place they should put in Child molesters, rapists etc. in the US.
