WHO IS DISSIN' WHOM

As of this posting, American officials say they've heard
from several sources that Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal
will be released soon. As I noted earlier this week, I feel
connected to the two free lance journalists. In
this post we also featured an interview with Sarah Shourd, who was captured with Bauer and Fattal.
What is troubling is that Iranian officials are playing power games with each other, using the freedom of the hikers as a pawn. President Ahmadinejad said earlier they would be free, but since then Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini said not so fast. The unpredictable President and the Supreme Leader have been engaged in a power struggle.
The significance of that is for other analysts, but the
off shoot is that troublesome Iran has inner political struggles.
In the meantime I hope American diplomacy, public
and otherwise, is successful in getting Bauer and Fattal
free and on the way home.
AS THEY SAY,
NOW FOR SOMETHING
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT

It seems to be bath time
beneath the jade. I'm
wondering how long until
they are too big to fit.
too big to fit here.
See you down the trail.
Great photos of the cats!
