U.S. hikers detained in Iran share love of travel, learning

CNN reports:

Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd and Joshua Fattal -- three University of California-Berkeley graduates believed to have been arrested Friday after crossing from Iraq into Iran during a hike -- are seasoned travelers with an appetite for interaction with other cultures, friends and associates said.

There is something missing from Berkeley curriculum, I suspect. Common sense?

In any case, Shane Bauer's site - highly recommended.
