1. Stupidity. Unbelievable

2. of course, everything is propaganda.....
josh ,   jerusalem   (04.11.07)
when i say the interviev with the soldiers back in the uk, this dump repeating of the words HANDCUFFED, BLINDFOLDET, ISOLATED, not able to speach free, nervous about every question from the journalists, dont belive the story of british peacekeepers and the bad iranians, or the visa versa. the fact is : once again this episode served the propaganda -needs of both sides, (like the "hot summer 2006") but not the need of a peacefully future in this area.
3. I don't trust any of them
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (04.11.07)
I believe it could be british propaganda, I believe the iranians could of messed with them psychologically. But I believe more strongly that they were treated better than gitmo prisoners. With corporate capitalism fascism to the west, and religious ideology fascism to the east, with pockets of communism here and there, what is an average citizen to do.
4. Checkmate, Iranian military.
Gene ,   Raleigh, USA   (04.11.07)
The British Defense Ministry should stick to checkers.
5. Who could believe Iran ?
bobsplace ,   Boonies, Texas, USA   (04.11.07)
Most Americans totally distrust Iranians and any thing they say. But what do they care what we Yanks think of them.....They have massive unemployment, inflation, no razor blades and gas shortages...Life in Iran is SO good...They could care less what the world thinks of them. They will crash around like a bull in a china shop until they finally crash for good.
6. British Sailors In Iran
Sam ,   San Francisco, CA   (04.11.07)
I believe despite what it was a British propaganda or not, the British soldiers are not so happy to be released that quick!. They could make much more money for every single day they enjoyed the Iranians hospitalities that we saw in youtube.com. Regardless they were in Iranian waters or Iraqi waters, but they were not suddenly deserved for that much attention and fun during their captivity and finally to be seen by the Iranian President at his palace and recieve lots of money from British media, while so many other British soldiers and my fellow U.S soldiers get killed everyday in Iraq.
7. sam you are 100% right. love your post.
susan ,   israel   (04.11.07)
8. #5, no wonder.....
melly ,   guantanamo   (04.11.07)
that so many americans mistrust iran, more than 70% of americans belived in 2002 that irak is a real threat to the us...i mean take a map and compare only the size es of both countrys, not to speak of tecnology......propaganda.......
9. Why they were so scared.
James Harold ,   U.S.   (04.11.07)
These poor soldiers were under a lot of psychological pressure. Everyone is told how extreme Iran is, and how they want us all dead. It is no wonder the soldiers were so scared. Western propaganda made them believe Iranians were nothing but murderers. I hope this is a valuable lesson for everyone. Happy Easter was there sentence.
10. I saw the lying sailors on TV playing and laughing it up!
Joe Smith ,   NY, USA   (04.11.07)
Come on! Even CNN has links to the video from Iran's TV showing the sailors having fun, playing table tennis, and chess. So much for the "cold stone cells", eh? LOL!
11. Laughing in IRAN but Not on U.K. T.V.
S.A.M. ,   U.S.A.   (04.11.07)

Please think a bit. it the U.S. wanted to stop Iran all they would have to do is stop the import of Gasoline since iran only has 2 oli refineres and they can only suply half the Gasoline for there own contry. if they do that ther would be a revalution just think Y they dont and think about Dick Chany working in Iran before bush came alone all they are doing is playing us as fulls Republicans control iran when Komaini came to power first thing he sade was President Carter has to Go then Ragen came along and gave iran two big plans full of military products from guns to tanks to artliliry you just dont get it and thats sad you think Muslims are your enemie but you wont evan go look at what there books say for example: chapter 5 read form 67-69 most of you dont evan know that muslims balive that jesus will return to fight the bad people wich says the jews that dont balive in one god or any god are the bad and they have us muslims and christians fighting over the same balife and we booth think that we are the enemy and as it says in the bible we know thougs jews that say they are jews but are not its the same in the quran please reed your own books of faith there are good jews and there are people that pretanded they are jews they are the real enemy as it has be written in both the quran and the bible please reed thank you,
