They are amazing -- so brave. I hope the White House flexes some diplomatic muscle over there.

GOOD JOB, PUTIN. YOU JUST CREATED A BUNCH OF MARTYRS. THE BEST METHOD FOR A DESPOT TO SILENCE THEIR CRITICS IS TO IGNORE THEM.

I hope Cat and Beard is right. It would be nice if the White House did do something, or care, and it might protest, just to show how concerned they are about human rights, but this is the governemnet that is also at the service of the rich and powerful, that murders civilians all over the world via drones, that is going after Assange and Manning and that is headed by a president that signed a law allowing for the jailing of US citizens without trial

It's sad and all but if you act like an idiot in a lame country you gotta expect consequences.

And seriously, their music SUCKS. They were out looking for attention and they sure got it, but it's hard to feel sympathy. Play with fire, get burned. People speak out in Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc every day and get killed for it, these girls get 1.5 years and suddenly it's front page news. A Portlandia sketch in the making.

Please wait...
