I hear that there is a Canadian husband and his American wife that went 'hiking in Afghanistan'. Of course they've been detained for a long time and now want the American government to intervene and get them out of there. If I were to ask, "What were they thinking?" I'd have to say, "They weren't........or couldn't."

A real pair of idiots. Probably, they were trying to gather intel of some kind. I hope so, anyway. I simply can't imagine anyone so stupid as to 'go hiking' in a hostile country.

Why not just sneak across the border into North Korea, and go sightseeing there? Morons.

Because they're not the opium/heroin capital of the world.

Vacationing and/or evangelizing in North Korea is also a really bad idea.
