Has anyone heard anymore info on those 13 British marines held hostage in Iran ?

Question

were thy really in international waters ?

Answer 1

They were in waters bordering Iraq/Iran. There are no buoys to mark the line, but they are well known. The British marines were searching a boat in Iraqi waters. A fisherman claims to have seen it all happen.

As of the latest I've seen today, Iran has said they might be tried for Espionage (and I'm just SURE they'll get a fair trial there, right?).

Iran has also suggested a trade: British marines for some of their jailed spies. They claim to have "confessions" from the Marines that they were in Iranian waters and knew it. Of course everyone has a breaking point, so with enough torture, I have no doubt they got "confessions" from the poor men and woman. What I doubt is their legitimacy.

I am absolutely sick about this. Iran continues to become more and more aggressive in its provocation of the rest of the world and I wonder how it is that we've lost the lessons of the past, especially those of the more recent past (say as recently as the middle of the 20th century). British intelligence was warned by the CIA that Iran would be jumping to seek revenge for the detention of Iranian intelligence officers who were captured in Iraq in January. This is getting uglier by the day.
