now, they were of course picked up in the summer of 2009, just a little background when they allegedly strayed into iranian territory while hiking in iraqi kurdistan and taken into custody by iran s revolutionary gored. the three hikers, sarah shourd, included in that group were reunited back in may of last year and sarah shourd was released on bail because she was suffering from some health problems and iran requested, alisyn, that she return to face charges and she has not returned. again, this is wrapped up today and i spoke with someone who has been very close to the proceedings, the back and forth between washington and tehran on this. he said that he thinks in a sense, it is a good thing for the judiciary to be out of this at some point soon so that the executive branch like the president wants to pardon these guys, he can. back to you, alisyn. let s hope that this ends with an outcome with them coming home. absolutely alisyn. thank you for the update,
