| Iran to free one of the three Americans they are holding |
| 2010-09-09 |
| Woohoo! In the spirit of Ramadan, they're letting go of one of the three Americans they are holding! Well, maybe not entirely in the spirit of Ramadan. After all, they trumped up the charges on these three idiots. I don't know what effect they think they holding them will have, but they are holding them. And they are releasing just one, not all three. They will probably release the gal since she has some possible cancer-related problems, but we don't know for sure yet. If this is the case, then they are just using Ramadan's name since their real purpose would be that they don't want her to die while in their hands. That would look bad for a country that can build a nuke but can't treat cancer yet. So much for the spirit of Ramadan. I'll bet 90% of the time governments use the excuse of Ramadan as a face-saving measure. |
