Am I the only person who finds this to be completely ridiculous? First of all, I have no idea why these hikers would be detained in the first place. You accidentally crossed the border on a hike and it’s obvious that you aren’t spies? Great, go back over. Bye. Problem solved. There’s no reason these people should have been detained since July fucking 31st. Also, where’s America on this? Seriously, if I was in a position of power, I would pull whoever was responsible for the detaining aside and go, “Hey buddy, look at Iraq right now. That’s us trying to help. Imagine if we were actually trying to be destructive!” Then I would blankly stare into his eyes for a few moments, uneasily lingering. Then, I would slowly nod my head once, as if to say, “Don’t tread on me, bitch.” USA! USA!
