Such a novel concept! And they aren't being labled obstacles to peace, those Brits? Hmmm... any MKs reading this article?

they will make her free !!! NO ONE NEEDS A WOMAN CAPTURE. HAMAS !!! YOU CAPTURED A CHILD ALSO. WELL HE IS A SOLDIER IN FACT BUT WE ALL KNOW HE IS TOO YOUNG (Gilad Shalit) YOU HAVE LOST SOMETHINGS IN LOYALTY, ROYALTY, HONOR , whatever are the right words

in a long time. The British governement has been the most active enemy of Iran for centuries. The news that these criminals have stopped talking to Iran is good news. Let's keep it that way.

How generous of this bunch of mysogynous misfits to release an illegally held female captive. Zahra Kazemi, the last female foreigner they held, died of torture in Iran three weeks after taking photos during a student protest outside a prison. The brave Iranian officials responsible for this Canadian journalist's brutal beating, torture and death were never charged, confirming that when it comes to human rights in Iran, they are nonexistent.

the usa shot itself in the knee cap when they invaded iraq for israel's sake, oil & thinking that'll scare iran again for israel's sake. that was a breack of the shrewdest usa policy doctrain Reagan had for iraq iran "double containment" simply cause the us did not know the difference betwn Shia, sunni ...etc typical western stupidity based on machoism & cowboyism & israel supremacy on all....

regime should be disbanded. We only remember too well of the regime and its treatment of our Canadian journalist. The UN will not help, the only option sadly is the Americans. As the Chinese will do anything for oil and it would seem the Russians like to sell armaments to these crazies.

Why is the female to be released? I'm no fan of the Teh'ran monkey by any stretch of imagination, but if you enter a country's territory without due permission from its authorities, you get arrested, usually detained and question, and then commonly deported. Why is the woman receiving special treatment?

First you don't know that they were in Iranian waters...I am not saying they weren't I havent seen the evidence either. But if you can't see that this soldier capture, justified or not is a ploy to negotiate or just simply a power play in order to deflect attention from the worsening social conditions in Iran, then you are as remedial as everyone makes you out to be. The woman is a token of good faith. Think...its the rifght thing to do

B"H The usage of "we were arrested by Iranian forces as we had apparently gone into Iranian waters" is a very diplomatic way of precisely stating what happened. She was arrested as she was taken into waters Iran considered theirs. That points to an infringement on Lebanonese sovereignty by Iran, because Iran took over Lebanonese territorial water; this is the same problem that Israel has been dealing with with Iran's attack via Lebanon proxies in the Second Lebanon on Israeli soil. At that time, there was not full backing for Israel to completely defeat Hisbullah by the British. Now the British are suffering for that lack of backing. The mutual address for the British and Israeli problem is Iran. Hamas is backed by Iran. If the British support Israel, they are supporting thier true ally in this matter. If, on the other hand, they insist on dismemberment of Israel with so-called pieces progroms, they are shooting themselves quite literally in the foot. That is because of two outcomes. First Iran will be encouraged by the British pressure against its ally to further attack Great Britton as in this military attack and kidnapping. And second, Israel will be discouraged from helping Iran in its efforts in world domination, as in Gaza, where the Israeli military withdrew instead of attacking the Iranian-backed Hamas, because of improperly directed world pressure. Great Britton is starting to reap the seeds they have sown with Iran and Israel. This is just the beginning. Quote: "We were out in the boat when we were arrested by Iranian forces as we had apparently gone into Iranian waters," the letter said. "I wish we hadn't because then I would be home with you right now," it added. End quote

the iranians are smart, and decieving they are doing all this to show thr world through media........tv internet, that they are nice people (the goverment) and that the are coppasianote etc... to gain the cappassion of the world. this sis allinoerder to try to halt an attack onto such a kind carring gov. the brits and us forces should bomb the hell out of iran and there nuculer ....

The GPS data has been released: International waters. This was a calculated, planned act of war on the part of the mullahs in Iran to assess Britain's resolve. Well, now we know how firm that resolve is. Retreat from Iraq. Retreat from international waters. Let's just please ask them to release our prisoners. "Diplomacy" to resolve an act of aggression. Neville Chamberlain was another great British diplomat who really knew how to deal with aggressors. The only good news is that Russia is reporting increased military activity by the US on the Iranian border, not that I expect anything to come out of that. And if you look at the young lady's picture, in spite of the black shmatah on her head, how modest, she is smoking a cigarette. A long time ago, when the USS Pueblo was seized by North Korea, a propaganda photo was staged with the sailors. All modestly produced a middle finger for the photographer, in spite of their grim faces. They got the hell beaten out of them when the Koreans figured out what the message was. I hope this young lady is sending a similar message.

So they did illegellyy enter...u bunch of noron did see that...illegfally entered....

Iraqi territory then it will be up to the Americans one would think what they will do with this Iranian situation in the future. You do understand GPS dont you Michael.

Buenos Aries bombing, something about state sponsored terrorism in regards to Iran. Go spread your manure somewhere else.

Oh, we will embarrass them and show we were on our side of the line! That will really scare Iran! Anyone want to go into business selling head scarfs to the Brits? We'll make a fortune in just a few years when all women must wear them.

Where is the UN. After all this is a clear act of war by Iran. The UN charter clearly prohibits this war crime. O wait their probably at a meeting condemnng Israel for continuing to exist.

It's very rich when the only witness the Brits find to vouch for them are the SMUGLERS! Dig this, what Styles said "had been confirmed by an Indian-flagged merchant ship boarded by the sailors and marines." Where the heck was the mother ship or their Amerian brethren were to hlep these marines, I'd like to know? Oh, I forgot, they should have learned a lesson or two from Israelis, specially the swift and decisive way they "get back" their soldiers! Will they ever learn???

Well. I'm smiling away here as I type - you have to take your hat off to these idiots. Cant even lie properly. I mean, if you are going kidnap people like this the FIRST THING you do is ensure you've got the "right" positioning details - the spot where the actual interception took place. Providing one set of co-ordinates - and then sending a revised set later is not even suspicious - ITS STUPID! I HOPE MAHMOOD & CO ARE TAKING CAREFUL NOTICE...... :-)

The Iranian's deliberitly chose the Brit's They knew that they would behave and go like meek sheep. Whereas the Americans would have blown them out of the water.

The Iranians weren't sailing up the Thames. The Brits/US had no UN mandate when they invaded Iraq. The UN mandate in question #1637 that Blair quotes to justify the presence of the UK15 in the Persian Gulf, expired December 2006. If the Iranian diplomats have no legal business in Iraq neither does the Brits/US in the Persian Gulf. Checkmate Iran. Play fair and negotiate.

Iran is looking for a fight and has a death wish.Lets give it to them in the form of the mother of all bombs. They need to be delt with swifty and put an end to this evil empire of hate and decay.Just lucky for them i not the one in control here.

Headscarf, that is.
