        Exactly. Who goes backpacking at 7mos prego in Afghanistan in a time of turmoil and war? I smell something fishy and contrived.

        Seems like a story to kill the other real news eg. #ChildrensHealthCare, #PuertoRico #NFL and other drama!

        Why would they even go there? I am glad that they have been freed but why put themselves in harms way to begin with? SMH!
