Now, we all know Iran has a funky justice system - but where is the evidence of espionage? Has anyone heard/seen anything about it? At the very least, you can see the men being held look extremely weak...if Iran can't show espionage, why can't they just let them go on time served for illegal entry into the country?

Methinks Iran is trying to prove a point. And. I don't like it.

I cannot answer your question any better except to say sovereign rights. Things like this are why our State Department warns about traveling to certain locations.

In my National Security Law class, we had a guest lecturer who had gone to Iraq to help with reforming their courts. Often, it just came down to whether a panel of judges believed one guy or the other (credibility of witnesses being a function of juries in our system). Since judges knew the law, it was assumed that they would properly evaluate every situation based simply on that knowledge, without burdens of proof or evidentiary standards. It's not surprising that Iranian judges would make such a ruling, regardless of how little evidence there is.

Let's go hike the border of two anti-US countries during a time of war.

You guys need to quit fapping at the thought of another war for just a minute and remember how these things usually play out. It's not like there isn't a recent precedent.

We get happy as hell about a lot of stupid shit, why not do the same at the prospect of sending military personnel overseas to break out of prison americans convicted in a foreign, sovereign nation? Sounds like you watched the rambo movies too many times.

It's not stupid. I am suggesting we break them out with a special unit such as the navy seals six team, not use a fictional character or start a war. We could do that. It's not like Iran can do anything about it. Get our liberal activist back, I say!!

Oh you mean send navy seals to a foreign nation to lead a prison break? Why not? Sounds foolproof.
Oh, Gee!!

Why stop there? Let's break out of prison every american imprisoned in a foreign nation. That's a good way to use our military.
