Hostages

Ahmadinejad is getting nostalgic for his college days:



U.S. academic Haleh Esfandiari and two other Iranian-Americans have been "formally charged" with endangering national security and espionage, Iran's judiciary spokesman said Tuesday.



One guy works for a George Soros foundation--an obvious front group for the Bush administration, eh?


I guess I don't know whether to be relieved that the Iranians are unable to nab real Western spies or dismayed that there may be none and these are the most hostile Westerners the Iranians could identify.


Regardless, the Iranians are pushing back. I have to wonder how much time they think they need to buy.
