What I do criticize are the huge grins, the numerous kind words, etc., without any hint at all that they were being forced. This one fellow couldn't have said simply "We were treated well" instead of going on about how they'd "had an excellent time"? Come on! What is cut off in the photo showing most of them grinning hugely are two fellows with poker faces. The rest of them weren't able to do this? Perhaps tone down the million-dollar smiles and hallelujah waves???

Do people really believe they freely gave those confessions and freely said they love Iran, had a good time, and want to return? Give me a break! Take a look at the last photo of them before they left for home. They are dressed exactly as Pres. Ahmadenijad made them dress. The men all look like him! Come on folks! Get real! Don't criticize the Brits for surviving!<BR/>http://universeandthings.blogspot.comAirborneVethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10899343775253966282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852689.post-82322416791205283822007-04-05T16:48:00.000-07:002007-04-05T16:48:00.000-07:002007-04-05T16:48:00.000-07:00<I>I'd say, we've had an excellent time.</I><BR/><BR/>And thus is written the epitaph of the Great Lion.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11327171335670079381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852689.post-50743132571038981402007-04-05T09:24:00.000-07:002007-04-05T09:24:00.000-07:002007-04-05T09:24:00.000-07:00I really, really, <I>really</I> hoped to log on this morning and see the headline &quot;Hostages home,Brits and Yanks bomb the hell out of Iran.&quot;&nbsp; No joy, yet at least.
