John Zmirak, the editor of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s Choosing the Right College, Zmirak and his colleagues recently released their own report on the 10 Best and 10 Worst American colleges, using criteria quite different from those of US News and other popular rankings that are based largely on prestige and money—not the quality of the education or the moral and social environment on campus.

Amid all the gushing about the two American “hikers” released by Iran to almost minute-by-minute media coverage of their journey home, forgive me if I have to demur from the tsunami of fawning. One, acting as spokesman for all, regaled us Americans, and the world, with a televised political statement defaming the America without which they would still be in iran, to wit:
ReplyDelete“We sincerely hope for the freedom of other political prisoners and other unjustly imprisoned people in America and Iran."
In "America"? "Political prisoners?" Just who would that be? What evidence do these self-proclaimed “hikers” cum "political prisoners" have that there are any "political prisoners" in "America"? Just what kind of Americans are these who would exploit their 15-minutes of undeserved fame by telling the world that there are "political prisoners" in "America" whom they hope will be set free?
Excuse me if I am insulted by the remark that America holds "political prisoners" made by these three pretentious self-declared "political prisoners" whose defense to Iran's charges were not that they were "political" actors but innocent “hikers” who "accidentally" crossed the border into Iran.
Like most Americans, I believed that their conviction by Iran of “espionage” was meritless. The only thing that made Iran’s allegations minimally plausible is the implausibility that three highly educated, affluent, Americans of Jewish descent or association, would be so utterly mindless as to hike near or in the jihadist-loving, jew-hating, America-hating, Islamic Republic of Iran.
In short, all three have been released by the efforts of their country because they are Americans. However, they now narcissistically use their unearned celebrity and the media stage that goes with it to defame America as a land of "political prisoners." Unless and until all three retract the "political" allegation that America holds "political prisoners," they should be criticized and called to account, not celebrated and fawned over by the media, and the American nation and people they have defamed.
