#1 Must be a lie cause all those self important posturing 'human rights' organizations, both government sponsored and NGO, aren't whining and complaining like they did about the Geneva Convention and Gitmo. Right? Bueller?

#2 keeping in mind Iran's thought process, (if I dare even try to understand it)
I worry if there is ever another episode of holding sailors for whatever their reasonings, that they may be less likely to let them go knowing they will tell of mistreatment.

#5 Trailing wife, thanks for the link.
"It is also clear that the Iranian government believes that the outcome has strengthened its position over such contentious issues as its nuclear programme." I agree, I think it has too.
With all of the apologies given to the Iranians for not wanting to hurt their feelings and not acting on the crisis, they know that they have the upper hand. That nothing will be done.
I'd like to see a much stronger defense, before it becomes more evident that we need to have a strong offense.
