Thank goodness bb isn't on the British negotiating team or those sailors would never have been released!

Iran has set a good example regarding the detainment of prisoners. I hope that Bush takes notice and returns the Iranians who are being held in defiance of the Iraqis. I still do not know why Bush thinks the U.S. has the authority to hold these men.

At least I hope Bush lets the Iranians see prisoners to make sure they are not being tortured. According to the Kurds, it was all a case of mistaken identity and the Iranians were there at the request of the Kurds working on a bilateral defense strategy. The charges against the prisoners are completely bogus.
