Remember those hikers who got rolled up in Iraq by some Iranian forces? They just got sentenced to 8 years. Based on the timing of the trials, I was kind of thinking that they'd get slammed with some massive sentence like 20+ years, then get released for "time served" (2 years) as part of a humanitarian gesture tied into Ramadan. Guess I was wrong.
