| Marines tell of Iran hell |

| EIGHT Royal Navy servicemen today break their silence — and reveal the true horror of their kidnap ordeal in Iran. They were snatched at gunpoint four weeks ago during a routine mission on the Shatt-al-Arab waterway border with Iraq. It was claimed at the time they had been well treated and only arrested for trespassing. But the men reveal: They endured a mock execution. They were violently abducted — even though they did NOT stray into Iranian waters. They were humiliated and paraded blindfolded like zoo animals. They were kept in horrific jail conditions and faced sickening mind games. The men spoke out to protect their professional reputations. Marine David Reid, 24, said: "It was unbearable and people have a right to know." The men arrived safely back in Britain last week. |

| #7 we can all thank the dems for the re-gained balls the iranians have...with all our politics and self-censure we seem paralyzed in our resolve...the fear they had in 2003 is gone and needs to be regained... |

| #6 I do belief they were required to wear Moolah panties (a.k.a., weapons of mass dysentry) |

| #5 Iran is running real rough. It needs an idle screw adjustment as a first go. |

| #4 If Iran makes one move, just ONE more hostile move, hit the bastards HARD, election year be damned. A forced reality check might do wonders for their attitude problem. |

| #3 At least they didn't have to wear underpants on their heads. That would have been the last straw. But that aside, Iran is one screwed up place. I hope that the early part of the 21st century will be a footnote in history regarding these midgets. |

| #1 I'm sure they suffered. But the Iranians went too far when they humiliated them! I'm confident we'll see unending MSM coverage starting on the Today Show tomorrow morning lambasting the black turbans for this lapse in morality. No? Welcome home lads. |
