I'm not saying that there isn't a double standard, however it's not difficult to prop the soldiers up making them appear clean and being fed for a brief camera appearance. There's nothing to say that outside of that time frame they aren't being held in poor conditions.
When not on camera, no one can say what their living environments are like, but I'm guessing it would take a little bit of "coercion" to make soldiers read statements like they have. At least I would like to think that trained soldiers, living in "approved" detainee conditions wouldn't be so quick to speak out in complete opposition of their government and career. |

By thier actions they are asking for it. The Coordinates they first gave and then how the are crying. "The UK has an attitude, so we not release the woman."
And no, I do not want a war, if people would calm down, and stop thinking that thier Myth is so much better than an other person's myth then all would be cool.

Fair enough, but for the last 6 years, Bush & Blair have insisted that everyone trust them, that they're right and they know what they're doing.
All anyone got were lies, abductions, abuses and fabricated shit.
What ever happenned to the western-style of due process? Innocent until proven guilty? Isn't that one of the things that the troops are over there fighting for? The good 'ol western ways of life?
Come on.
While I'm certainly not in favour of the Iranian regime and it's collection of nutjobs, the troops were shown to be in good health, and I think that even the Iranians aren't foolish enough to screw up this latest case in the public relations war.
The American administration was just pissed that they got caught! They weren't actually remorseful that the abuses and abductions actually happenned.
