Are these people idiots?

Iranian TV has shown the first pictures of two Iranian American academics - Haleh Esfandiari and Kian Tajbakhsh - who have been held in Iran since May.

The footage was a trailer promoting a programme to be aired later this week.

Only snatches of their voices are heard but the BBC's Tehran correspondent says they appear to be confessing to trying to topple the Iranian government.

Where they there to assist in a university ? What was their reason to be in Iran which made the Iranians oversensitive or was it just because they were now American citizens ?

When governments talk, lies happen.

You'd think Iran would have a Guantanamo to put these people in. Bloody amateurs.
