American Hikers To Be Released From Iranian Jail

Ann Curry interviewed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and he is going on record saying the two American hikers, Joshua Fattal and Shane Bauer who were arrested in 2009 and sentenced to 8 years in prison for espionage while hiking along the Iraq-Iran border, will be freed in a couple days. This is being called a humanitarian gesture on Iran's part. However in return, Ahmadinejad wants Iranians freed from American prisons.

The hikers say they crossed the border by mistake due to a soldier waving them over. What? Sounds like that soldier waved them over on purpose so they could cross the border to be arrested.

T. I.: Just Can't Seem To Leave The Feds

Wow! T.I.'s ass is visiting ANOTHER federal jail, in Atlanta this time. He just left an Arkansas federal prison on Wednesday (click here to read previous post). T.I. was to serve the remainder of his sentence at an Atlanta halfway house but that is up in the air at this point and nobody knows why yet. According to TMZ, T.I.'s lawyer, Steve Sadow, confirmed this by saying, "We are awaiting the opportunity to quickly resolve whatever the issue may be that the Federal Bureau of Prisons has with TI's method of transportation, bus, from Arkansas to Atlanta, so that T.I. can return to the halfway house to complete the remaining days of his sentence."

The method of transportation Sadow is referring to is a luxury bus. He also lets it be known that the reason T.I. is back in custody at the Arkansas prison has nothing to do with drugs.

This story is still developing. Damn.

UPDATE: It seems the issue is, T.I. was supposed to roll in a van and not a cool ass luxury bus, as reported by TMZ. T.I.'s wife, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle said the prison staff saw what T.I.'s mode of transportation was as they took pictures with T.I. right next to it.
