Three Americans in Iran charged with espionage
Three Americans who strayed across the Iran-Iraq border in August have been charged with espionage.The three, Shane Bauer, 27, Sarah Shourd, 31, and Josh Fattal, 27, crossed into Iran from Iraq and their families say they strayed across the border accidentally.The only way the United States is going to get these people released (short of a rescue mission) is if it has something that Iran wants. Let's hope it's diplomats and not uranium.
"The three are charged with espionage. Investigations continue into the three detained Americans in Iran," Tehran general prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi told IRNA.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad suggested in an interview with the American television network NBC in September that the Americans' release might be linked to the release of Iranian diplomats he said were being held by U.S. troops in Iraq.
Under Iran's Islamic sharia law, espionage is punishable by death.

I read that these Americans are barking moonbats.
I say Iran can keep them.
So much for American outreach changing the mullahs' attitude towards America.
Hopenchange=zero
Should we make these 3 Americans geniuses the early recipients of the 2009 Darwin Award?
