Glad to see them home, now if they could stop with the America sucks innuendos it would be a lot better for them.
"The only explanation for our prolonged detention is the 32 years of mutual hostility between America and Iran"
Really? why does America have the hostility towards Iran Dipshit?
I guess we should not be hostile to a country that would like to see us disappear as a country, and 32 years ago took 52 American hostages and held them for 444 days !
Hey jackass, I hear there are some nice hiking trails in Afghanistan, why don't you and your other rejects go hike around there and see how you come out of that one !
The Telegraph
Hikers, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal say they believe they were imprisoned as hostages because of their nationality, not because they may have illegally strayed across the Iranian border.
The pair were detained in July 2009 along the Iran-Iraq border and maintain they were only hiking in Iraq's relatively peaceful Kurdish region and may have wrongly ended up in Iran.
Speaking after their arrival in New York, Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer said their detention was, "never about crossing the unmarked border between Iran and Iraq."
Shane Bauer said, "We were held because of our nationality" not because they unknowingly crossed into Iran.
"The only explanation for our prolonged detention is the 32 years of mutual hostility between America and Iran, " Bauer added.

Iran opens trial of US 'hikers'

An Iranian court has begun closed-door proceedings in the espionage trial of three Americans, two still in custody and one freed on bail.
The trial on Sunday of Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, along with that of Sarah Shourd, who was released on $500,000 bail in September, comes 18 months after they were arrested on July 31 2009 near Iran's border with Iraq.
The three, in their late twenties and early thirties, say they were hiking in the mountains of northern Iraq and crossed the unmarked border by mistake.
Iran held them on suspicion of spying, a crime which can carry the death penalty.
Barack Obama, the US president, met Shourd on her return to the United States, an event he called "bittersweet" due to the continued detention of the other two, one of whom is Shourd's fiance.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, suggested last February that the Americans might be released as part of a prisoner swap for Iranians he says were abducted or tricked into going to the United States and jailed without due legal process.
