#1 Shouldn't they've stayed in USA---exposing vast right wing conspiracy by combat veterans? Or, at least, went to Gaza to report on Zionist oppression?

#3 "Concern" to be followed by a STERNLY worded statement. Man, those Norks are in for it now!

#4 Saberi has been in Iran for 6 years. No one forced her to go.

Any American who sets foot in that place for any reason (other than to bomb the hell out of them) is a suicidal IDIOT.

I'll save my sympathy for those that actually deserve it.

#5 And to the person who called me a stupid piece of fecal matter the last time I commented on this subject -- do yourself a favor and stay off the internet. Your stupidity is stunning and may cause self-inflicted injury.

#6 Emotions run quite high here from time to time Zorba. I'm sure it was only meant as emphasis, or simply a term of endearment. The ones look out for are not the ones who call you a POS or SOB in a blog or over a bar stool. They are the friendlies! Mind the silent ones.

#7 Yeah, I didn't take it personally LOL. I'm sure the offender values no opinion other than his own.

#8 Obama doesn't give a shit but was told by his handlers "You should say something".

There, fixed it for you.

#9 We're holding several Iranians captured in Iraq, and Iran is hoping for a 'prisoner exchange', same as in 2007. President Bush didn't blink then and sure enough, Iran eventually let the "Iranian-American" go, unharmed.

Jim is right about Obama, but I sure as hell hope he doesn't decide to any kind of exchange for Saberi, hunger strike or not. Dollars to donuts she'll write a glowing report of how well she was treated in Iran's most 'infamous' prison, just as her predecesor did.

Same shit/different day.
