Just a note on those American hostages in Iran......
 

Three Americans whose disappearance in Iran ... [are] UC Berkeley graduates whose interest in Middle Eastern culture and human rights led them abroad to study and do freelance journalism ...

Shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

[Both] are 27 [and] once lived in the same Oakland co-op and taught a student-led class at Berkeley that envisioned a harmonious, postcapitalist society.

With unicorns, I suppose.

[Shane] Bauer [a Minnesota native who is fluent in Arabic] graduated with honors from UC Berkeley in 2007, earning a bachelor’s degree with a major in peace and conflict studies and a minor in Arabic. He went to Sudan’s Darfur region to research a thesis on the crisis there.

[Sarah] Shourd is described by those who know her as passionate about teaching, traveling and politics. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in English in May 2003, she worked as a tutor with Americorps…

...describes herself on one Web site as a lover of “fresh broccoli, Zapatistas [read: “libertarian Marxists”] and anyone who can change her mind.”

A feat I suspect couldn’t be accomplished with a Malkin-load of facts and a 100# Cluebat.

[Joshua] Fattal, who earned his bachelor’s degree in environmental economics and policy, is a Pennsylvania native who recently worked and lived at a sustainable living research center in Oregon....

[He] founded a class in spring 2005 called “Liberation and reality: moving toward a collective autonomy” through UC Berkeley’s student-run DeCal program.

I hope they enjoy their stay in the Peeeeoples Iran.

Good CIA legends.

As with the two morons we just got back from North Korea...pure unadulturated dumbasses all. Leave 'em.

Yes, but they were working for Al Bore,oops,I mean Al Gore's newspaper, so that makes it alright to do whatever they were there to do, just ask Al.............:confused::confused::(:(
