    Why were those Americans hiking in Iraq?

    I doubt if many can understand their choice. I know I cannot fathom anyone needing to hike around in Iraq. There are plenty of great hiking spots in the USA and if you needed something more exotic there are plenty of safer hikes throughout the world. I guess we will have to wait and see how...
