In regard to Blair's righteous indignation -

"Suddenly, it was a new day with Bush and Blair fully committed to international law. Even a relatively minor Geneva transgression, such as filming captives eating, became a justification for unrestrained outrage."

This is an excellent article. Well worth the read. Its about the U.S./Britain and their double standards.

...and I do think Iran did a good job of exposing the hypocricy of so-called "western values". They never said a thing about it, they just showed the world what the U.S. and Britain are all about. Anyone who still thinks the U.S. and Britain are somehow morally superior will have to re-think the way they treat their hostages compared to the way Iran treated theirs.

Iran definitely has the moral high road and this has not been lost on other countries, especially in the Middle East.
