Iranian Prisoner Swamp Proposed

From AFP:

The Islamic republic is now said to be seeking a possible prisoner swamp, demanding that the United States reciprocate with a "humanitarian gesture" by releasing several Iranians held in the United States before there can be any talk of releasing the jailed hikers.

    If they want us to throw their prisoners into a bog, who are we to object?

    I'm thinking this was the reason they grabbed them in the first place; just looking for an excuse to swap ours for theirs.

    So would that be a "true" forest swamp or a "transitional" shrub swamp? I didn't realize that Iran had any swampland (Iraq on the other hand is restoring the swamp drained by Saddam, traditional home of the "Swamp Arabs".)
