How nice that the British service people have been released and have arrived back home having been well looked after. One wonders why some of the hysterical on this ere forum ever imagined them being tortured? Quiet diplomacy and decent people win the day - I wonder how Bush would have played the game if it had been US service people arrested?

In their position, I would rather stay where I was than wear those god-awful suits in public...talk about maltreatment.

....and how bloody stupid to let them get captured in the first place. They were part of the crew of a British warship, not tourists on a sailing holiday. Their ship should have been in a position (in terms of arms) to defend them.

Agreed...........they should be court- marshalled for being incompetant and traitors saying we're wrong invading the Middle East etc.......

LOL - I agree. 'The horror, the horror'! One would think the PM of Iran would have access to a decent tailor but he always looks like he is wearing his big brother's hand me down.

I have found that the quality of a suit is often inversely proportional to the quality of the wearer.

"...having been well looked after"?
That remains to be seen.
The fact that the Bush administration seems bent on destroying civilization as we know it in no way implies that other governments are any better.

No Internationally agreed boundaries exist between the 2 countries.
