Detained Britons say crew 'intruded' in Iran's waters
CNN Website:- http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/04/01/iran.sailors/index.html
The facts are out. British sailors did indeed intrude Iranian waters and were hence held captive. Over the past few days, many different organisations and regimes have tried to portray the Iranian government as terrorists and kidnappers after detaining the British sailors who intruded their waters but wouldn't the same authorities who criticised the Iranians have done the same thing if someone came uninvited into their waters?
If reports coming out of Iran, that the captives are treated very well, then I must say that the Iranian government have been very responsible and humane unlike its Western counterparts who have on many occasions mistreated its captives such as those in the notorious Abu Ghraib prison.
It is certainly my hope that the British and American government do not make a big deal out of this as the Iranian government are really just carrying out standard procedures! If they do, then they would be adding more fire to the political tension that is threatening to breakout into a war in the Middle-East region. If that were to happen, then all that diplomacy work the British and American government have been doing over the past few months will come to null.
