Blair told us and the rest of the world, that the arrested Brits were in Iraqi waters. But unfortunately, all our sailors have now admitted they were tresspassing.
They looked perfectly natural and relaxed and some were even joking and smiling. None had any signs of rough treatment, which in any case as professionals they would have been trained to resist. Especially their officer.
I thought showing them on TV, in dignified circumatsnces, was a kind gesture of reassrance to their families by the Iraneans, although Blair tried to turn even that against them.
So why does not Blair say our naval people tresspassed by mistake and sorry, we shall be more careful next time. Here is £10 million in compensation? Why must we turn every minor incident into a major issue and create more animosity among nations?

Follow the link to the sites below. Read and decide for yourself. The information provided in the article, the fact that closed door negotiations seem to be favoring Iran over the pass 24 hours, and also the fact that one of the Iranian diplomats that was captured in Iraq was released this morning might all start to make since of this quagmire.

Blair doesn't admit the Brits were in Iranian waters because it isn't true. The British sailors are prisoners and are acting under duress. Listen carefully to their statements, and you will hear that these very natural and relaxed professionals have not said quite what their captors want us to think.
Even the Iranians gave the correct coordinates, OUTSIDE Iranian waters, at the beginning; then changed their story when they realized they had told the truth.
We know that to Ahmadinejad, lying is a way of life. This is the man who says that the holocaust never happened. Why would you believe anybody from his administration over Tony Blair?

You thought showing them on TV in a dignified circumstances was a kind gesture of reassurance? How about when there not in front of the camera's do you think they are being so kind to them then? If you do you would have to be a little soft in the head.

Do not be fooled Franco, let me ask you a question, would you not lie and say anything, you would say anything that your kidnappers want to hear to get home right?
I would say whatever they want to hear and then tell the truth when I got home, which is they KIDNAPPED our boys at GUN POINT from Iraqi waters.

The captured sailors are being forced to lie. Did you not see the one sailor with the black eye. They are being brainwashed and possibly experience light physical torture.
