Iranian-American Journalist Condemns "Hikers" & racist U.S. Double-Standards Against Iranians

"The last two years have been nothing but an Iran-bashing opportunity for the United States government and the mainstream media, over which it has such immense influence. The ongoing characterization of Iran as an evil-doer also stokes the fires of prejudice against Iranians and Iranian-Americans. ... A number of Iranian political prisoners are held by America, some held in the United States and others held in Iraq. ... In the United States, detention centers are, for many immigrants, a dead zone, where they lose a grip on their families and their futures. Some await official word for months or years. Contact with their families is – for many – nonexistent. Almost all of them suffer in anonymity, usually without a lawyer and any knowledge of their rights and means of recourse."

Iranian-American Journalist Condemns "Hikers"

There are also whisperings coming out of Tehran that the "Hikers" were apprehended with military-grade electronic equipment.   Who financed this life-style for the hikers to go into a country were hundreds of thousands have been killed, including thousands of armed U.S. troops, and where Kurdish militants roam in those same mountains and targeted by Turkey and Iran?   Who put up $500, 000 bail for Sara Shourd?  Do you think this is normal?  If so give your reasons.
