Released sailors tell of ordeal


Royal Navy personnel seized by Iran were blindfolded, bound and held in isolation during their 13 days in captivity, the crew have said.

We are glad to have them back. To all those people on various blogs and comment pages who have congratulated the Iranians for the way they behaved during this incident and the way in which they treated the captives, I hope you pay close attention.

The same sort of rhetoric that came from Iran allowing you to feel so secure in your cosy world where there are no bad people just "misunderstood ones" has been shown for what it is.

Everyday the threat from these groups grows stronger and stronger and yet you act as apologists and sympathisers for their cause.

Throughout the Middle East barbaric acts are being carried out; men, women and children are being murdered on a daily basis and you apologise and say it is because the perpetrators have themselves been treated badly, are misunderstood, it is not their fault .......... and so on.

Perhaps this incident and the glaring differences between the Iranian account and the account of the victims will finally open your eyes to what is going on.

Reading the comments on the MODERATED BBC page it is clear that a lot of people have the view that the treatment of the Navy personnel is quite justified compared to the treatment by the Americans to those held in Guantanamo Bay.

You are no longer just misguided, you are no longer just an embarrassment to the rest of us, in the war against terrorism, you are traitors.

Iranian Ordeal
