American detained more than a year in Iran arrives in United States

(CNN) -- Sarah Shourd, the American hiker released from an Iranian prison, told reporters Sunday that doctors in Oman have assured her that she is "physically well."

Reading from a prepared statement, Shourd expressed thanks to Iranian government and religious leaders, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, for her release after 410 days.

"It is my deepest hope that the world will not let this humanitarian gesture ... go unrecognized," she said. "I believe this decision is a step in the right direction for all of us."

However, she and the mothers of the other two detained Americans, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, called for their release. The two men remain in Tehran's Evin Prison.

I know it is off-topic, but every time I see this thread I mis-read it as 'Female Hitler Will Be Released Very Soon'.

My reaction every time is 'What?!?!.....Oh, wait......right.....'

You have a point there,it also cross my minds,two other remains, which are likely to be the subject of a political black mail
