Country:  | Just glad these Sailors and Marines are home with their families. Saw on Sky News that Iranian Military Vessels had boarded civilian shipping numerous times and Iranian Military personal had robbed the Civilian Crews of money and valuables. Which amounts to Piracy. And more so its Piracy because it is sanctioned by the Iranian Government. Sky News had suppressed the story until there was some sort of a release date for the Marines and Sailors. But once they were released Sky News reported the delayed news story | |

Country: | Now the British Marines say that they were lying when making statements in captivity about tresspassing into Iranian waters. I guess if I was told I would be going to jail for seven years I might say a white lie like that too.
I imagine this last statement from them is the correct one? That Iran was the one that tresspassed into Iraq's waters?
Or is just that the two countries waterway borders are all mixed up anyway?

Country: | Hell they didn't even know where they were when they reported the capture to begin with. Not only are they supporters of terrorism, but they apparently can't even read GPS coordinates.
