What gets me is why these Americans were even in Iran, a country who isn't friends of the West in the first place. It really pays to be informed of what's going on in the world and to know what destinations are actually American friendly so that one doesn't end up being a ploy of propaganda. I will have to say that I'm glad the Terhanian govt. released the woman prisoner because she probably would have died from the effects of being in isolation (depression, anorexia, dehydration, etc).
