Iran frees eight British sailors
Richard Norton-Taylor
Friday June 25, 2004
The Guardian
Eight British sailors and marines were poised to leave Iran early this morning after being released from detention in what appeared to be a victory for Iranian moderates.
British officials said the eight were flying out of the country after recuperating at the embassy after their three-day detention ordeal.
"They have left the embassy for the airport," a Foreign Office spokesman said early this morning, without saying whether the servicemen would return to Britain or move back to their unit in Iraq.
Jack Straw, the foreign secretary, said the men were in good spirits and well cared for. "At least now we can be pleased that they're happy and released," he said.
It was unclear last night whether their boats and equipment would be returned.
The six marines and two sailors were seized on Monday by Revolutionary Guards after apparently straying into the Iranian section of the Shatt al-Arab waterway on the border between Iran and Iraq.
The marines were delivering boats for the newly formed and trained Iraqi river service, the Ministry of Defence said.
Their "confessions" and a video of them blindfolded and being paraded in the desert on an Arabic language Iranian television station were regarded in Iran as a victory for conservatives over reformers led by Iran's president, Mohammad Khatami, say analysts - a message to the west that Tehran does not have to bow down to the reformers' policy of detente.
Mr Straw has cultivated relations with Tehran and during the episode was in contact with Kamal Kharrazi, the reformist foreign minister.
Mr Kharrazi has said an inquiry had established the men had no sinister purpose. But state TV reported demonstrations against their release when they arrived at Tehran's Mehrabad airport, with protesters demanding they stand trial for illegal entry.
On hearing the news of the releases Paula Harkins, the wife of Sergeant Thomas Harkins, said she was "ecstatic".
· Iran has told Britain, France and Germany it will start making uranium centrifuge parts again, breaking an agreement it had made with the EU trio, John Bolton, the US arms control under-secretary, said. The Foreign Office could not confirm the report.

Gee...this must be a thread like those that kaira posts.
Ones where she doesn't have the courage to post her own opinions on the subject in the article.
They ARE all alike, aren't they?
===
"released from detention in what appeared to be a victory for Iranian moderates."
gee....I wonder if sybil is glad the victory went to the 'moderate Iranians' LOL LOL LOL
She appears to be since she referred to this liberal sites op-ed piece as 'diplomacy'.
LOL Wouldn't surprise me. Just like pelosi talking to the syrian leaders.....tsk tsk tsk

First you say I didn't give an opinion then you say that I gave an opinion....
confused as usual, bimbo?
The title refers to what diplomacy (talking) can do. The British are to be commended for negoiating a peaceful resolution and I applaud ANY country that avoids conflict when there's peaceful solutions.
Don't bother to post that YOU prefer war and slaughter...I KNOW that.

Sure...I understand that you and your ilk are pleased when terrorists nations win.
No surprise there....you don't have to constantly repeat yourself for that to be understood.
But diplomacy? ROFLOL
We'll be hearing about their 'kindness' for a while now. They'll LOVE showing the world how nice they are.
And YOU'LL AGREE.
Give them a BIG HUG, sybil.

Look at the conservatives that criticize the 15 captured soldiers

Absolute faith has been shown, consistently, to breed intolerance. And intolerance, history teaches us, again and again, begets violence.

The duty of a patriot in this time and place is to ask questions, to demand answers, to understand where our nation is headed and why. If the answers you get do not suit you, or if they frighten you, or if they anger you, it is your duty as a patriot to dissent. Freedom does not begin with blind acceptance and with a flag. Freedom begins when you say 'No.'

I've showed that 'waco' lies even about his OWN financial circumstances...
I've outed you for posting a GOSIP column ...showing what a hypocrite you are...how petty you get.
And now...pointed out that the mediamatters sites claims ITSELF to be, GET THAT KIARA, NOT MY OPINION, but THEIR OWN 'about us' statement.....and how logansdad is ALSO misinformed in most that he posts.
It's been a VERY good day for me. I speak for how MY days are....you don't.
So...nope....I've been having a GREAT day pointing out WHY so many of you liberals think the way you do....you go on /use all sorts of MISINFORMATION.

Oh my, a link from MSNBC got you that upset when you were too stupid to click on it for two days and check it out yourself? Does this rank up there with you outing that openly gay guy on the other board when you made an ass of yourself? 
Here is the link on the PETA site also.

Oh Kiara, were you there on OTWA when linduh made that huge ass of herself by "outing" a guy everyone knew was gay!!!?? And she can't read very well so when other posters POSTED that everyone knew he was OPENLY gay she just kept right on ranting and screeching trying to get him to "adnmit" he was gay!!
TOO TOO funny!

And this differing from the idiots 'take' on what happened.
I asked him IF he was gay or not because I don't take ANYONE elses word for someone else. Some had hinted he was...but I wanted to know from him and him alone.
He played games....and the liberals all thought it was SO funny that he wouldn't just admit he was.
Gawd....how they can DISTORT the simplist things.
But since they believe anything they hear or read....guess it's no surprise they'd find it funny I would ONLY take it from the person involved.

Yes, Mingo I was reading over there then and of course Linda_k has a different version of the story like she has a different version of why she got booted from that site.
Linda_K, if I had something to hide do you think I'd post a link that anyone in their right mind could click on? It just happened to be a link on the front page of the MSNBC site while I read other news stories. I'm not gay and I did post a link to my article so what exactly are you trying to 'out' me for?

I gave my version because you two continue mentioning things that happened YEARS and YEARS ago.
As far as what I've posted about your actions today....that you can't grasp what I've already explained ALSO comes as no surprise to me or anyone else who has watched you play your games.
Get a new stick. This one is BORING.

Post the link....show how old the garbage you want to continue rehashing is.
Actually prove what you claim for once, kiara. You're a LIAR through and though.
I guess my never assuming personal things others state without verifying it with THEM is something unusual for YOU. YOU choose to assume everything...when you KNOW nothing. And ASK the person themself? Heck no....that doesn't fit in with your childish game plans.
POST THE LINK. Or ask helen to do so. It's 10 pages long as I recall.
THEN others can see how what I say about how long ago these things you continue to SPEW have been.
WAY in the past....and of course, as usual, have NOTHING to do with the topic issues EVER.

And Yes, I believe honest people of character DO believe a lot of the lies you and mingo post here.
It's YOUR character that's on the line.....YOU and mingo think it's so funny to continue DISTORTING things that I've been involved in.

I love how your twisted mind works, kaira.
Since 'waco' as called me a liar and others copy their leader...then that makes me one?
But because you nor waco nor any one else that has ever called me a liar can ACTUALLY PROVE I have lied....that doesnt mean a thing, huh?
So you can't back up what you claim. But you always insist I and others DO. LOL
Another example of you own hyprocrisy.
Gawd....there's just so many demands you make on others that you refuse to actually do yourself.
Kind of makes more of your posts just that much more lacking in any credibility.
But I've known that about you for YEARS, kiara....the fence riding, lying game player.

Truth is something you just can't handle, kiara.
No one has EVER proven nor showed any LIE I've ever made. NEVER.
It like so many other false claims you made are all in your twisted mind.
Just like this supposed drinking you keep insisting I'm doing.
Can you PROVE that. Nope. Just another of your childish statements that have NO basis in FACT.
But that won't stop you.....because you know what I said is true.
I don't make ASSUMPTIONS about others personal lives like you do. I ASK them. I don't believe anything that others say about someone else. I have the BACKBONE, that you don't. I ask them.
That is my 'sin' this time according to you and your twisted sister, mingo/sybil.
NEVER any proof from you kiara....because there IS NONE. Just more of your garbage.
But I know....as you've said a million times....like you do everything else....you're saying it with a smile on your face.
You LIE very well with that smirk on your face, kiara.
I pity you.

Just a slight difference of Opinion:
The Left:
"See, there is nothing that negotiations and a little left wing groveling cannot achieve."
The Right:
"An obviously staged stunt to provide tension in an area different than Iranian nuclear development. Followed by the statement "continuing development......".
Any left winger worth his salt is going to think twice about getting those wacky Iranians mad now!

================
More like total willingness to ignore anything the terrorists nation does. Don't believe their madman has said himself they're going to 'wipe Israel off the face of the earth'....
And pelosi is over in syria appeasing them now. lol
For DECADES American policy has recognized them as a terrorist nation....but not the liberals. They believe, falsely they can negociate with terrorists and actually come out ahead. LOL
Delusional is what they are, imo.
I hope millions of minds are opened up before the '08 elections. Otherwise kiss America as we have always known her goodbye.
