I read the article about Iran releasing the two jailed American men. I think that it is ridiculous that the two men were kept in the Tehran prison for two years on accounts of spying charges. Their bails are $500,000 each and will be released back to America once the bails are accounted for. I think that is a ridiculous amount of money that they need to pay for something that they didn't do. Yes, it was stupid to hike on the Iran-Iraq border, however if they were spies they would have had better equipment. But overall im glad the two men finally get to return home. This story has significance, timeliness, and human interest.
