Adele offers her insight on recent news events

ITEM – Two American men arrested by Iran over three years ago while hiking along the Iraq-Iran border have been sentenced to eight years in prison on charges that include espionage and illegal entry. A third hiker, a woman, was released last year because she was ill and has since refused to return for her trial.

COMMENT – Sorry, but I have maintained all along that anyone dumb enough to take a hike along the border of Iraq and Iran deserves little sympathy. I’m sure they weren’t spying but I don’t quite buy their going into Iran as an accident either. Surely there were a lot friendlier places...
