Sarah Shourd: A spy?

I have been asked if I believe Sarah Shourd when she says she is not a spy. I do. I do not believe she was a spy or involved in espionage. I would think a spy would have much better information and would not “accidentally” wander over to the country border they are spying on, don’t you? It seems far-fetched.

Sarah also doesn’t hit me as the type who would enjoy that type of work either. Her character is one who likes to live by the book, to follow rules and live within the expectations of society. Spies are quite the opposite, generally speaking.
