So are we then to assume that the folks in Iran got caught doing what Iran's government claims they were doing?
what I am saying is that when you violate the laws and from what I have heard they were there
illegally intentionally. They entered the country illegally by choice. they weren't there because they were lost. They were doing some story investigating. Its just that when people enter a foreign country and then expect the fact that they are US citizens to get them different treatment annoys me. Its the same as the illegal aliens that enter our country - we expect them to enter legally and to follow our laws. its works both ways.
