I wrote up a piece on the hikers yesterday for True/Slant and will submit it to HuffPo ASAP. Also cross-posted it at Daily Kos, which I now realize was not particularly helpful insomuch as that much of that crowd is only interested in freeing wrongly-accused activists when they are wrongly-accused by Israel or the U.S. I'm going to try to get this story distributed to some of my few conservative contacts, whom I imagine will enjoy the Kos reaction angle.
