Now where might we have had that happen lately?
Hmmm, come on...
It'll be a good argument for a change, trust me on that
Course, that might actually require effort and a holistic view of the situation rather than one-sentence rebuttals spat out like petulant children and calling each other names like you usually do. |
Yeah, but the people who the US is detaining are suspected terrorists. The sailors detained by Iran were captured outside of Iranian territorial waters while they were performing a UN mission under a UN mandate. I'm not saying everything the US is doing with detaining terrorists is kosher, but its a totally different situation.
Even if they were in Iranian waters what they did was still illegal. Warships and naval auxilliary are immune from arrest, seizure, and inspection by other nations unless the commanding officer of the ship gives permission.

LOL. Well, I don't recall reading or hearing about them until Mossadeq was overthrown and the Shah was installed, who had his serect police/death sqauds (i.e. SAVAK) and torture chambers. Guess who funded and organized that . Don't know if they still have any, but I wouldn't be surprised eigther way.
