Americans Hiking in Iraq?

Yeh right, she's just a hiker.

Just like Saddam only killed 5600 Kurds with mustard gass right?

This is all a facade anyways. Enjoy the little illusions while they last

Wasn't posted to change your, or anyone else's viewpoint. If that's what you thought than you really are looking at this myopically. It was posted to present an alternative explanation. Up to you whether you buy it or not. At least you read it, that was the point.

I do think it possible they were just hikers. The fact that the media never questioned that they weren't hikers leads me to think that they were agents of the US. I wonder what their objective was, so far away from the war? Could they have been sent to patronize the Kurds, or to gather information on the strength of the border, or to deliver some messages, money or equipment? Why send Americans when locals could be hired?
