>>Dianavan..you are as easily if not more easily conned than the next person. Do you really believe all you have written on this thread in your 'stand alone' views? We are fed information from various sources and yours is only one....whose source is correct is a matter of conjecture but you are so obviously always right we cannot present an adequate argument against your fine words.
Not sure if it has been fed back to you yet but on UK TV, the picture being painted is of the 'Hostages' from our Navy/marines were mostly kept in solitary confinement....they were blindfolded and guns were cocked behind them..making them believe they were going to be shot...they had no other choice but to go along with the TV interviews and the supposed 'fun time' they were having which was being presented to the press. They knew they were in Iraqui waters not Iranian but under duresse had to admit to it and apologise on TV
Iran has certainly made a coup of some sort....with you anyway!!
Blair made all the right decisions! They paid off!<<

I suppose you think your source is the only one that's right. You don't anymore about what went on than I do. And I claim to know nothing at all about it mainly because I don't care. Iran was in their rights to do what they did and it wasn't anything the US and Britain wouldnn't have done under the same circumstances.

As far as the TV images being all show it still makes Iran look better than the US. We can't even do that right. When we show pictures of how we treat Muslim detainees, I'll guarantee you people around the world recoiled way more than they did when they saw pictures of the British detainees. About the only people recoiling at that are Britons and Americans who, quite frankly, aren't deserving of sympathy after telling the rest of the world to shove diplomacy up their ass.
