Do you really believe that Gomes faced a fair trial and that his crime is deserving of eight years of hard labor in an enemy country? Do you see any justice in that? I agree that what he did was illegal, but he should be returned here to the US to face charges in a fair setting.

The hikers weren't being "negligent". Hiking on the border of a country that is in a war zone and another country that has a long history of hating our guts isn't "negligent". It's absolutely unacceptable. These hikers should also be returned to the US, I agree, but upon return they should face criminal charges for putting the US in such an unfavorable diplomatic situation. For someone who dislikes Iran, you sure do have a lot of sympathy for people who give them what they want on a silver platter.
It doesnt matter that Gomes didnt face a fair trial. NK gets to run its country how it sees fit, and Gomes knew that going in. The hikers, however, did nothing wrong. And its not a criminal offence to "put the us in a unfavorable political position".
