The Iranians and kidnapped British sailors

Sparky's position on this? Officially reserving judgement.

Seem a little odd? Well, the sad fact is that I don't trust ANYONE who is giving information over this.

The Iranians are nucking futs (though seldom outright suicidal) and may indeed want a big, silly dramatic gesture. I don't believe a word they say.

The British government lies as naturally as they breath and are just DYING to find an excuse to start a war with Iran and are more than capable of provoking this. I don't trust any of them as far as I can throw John Prescott. I don't believe a word they say.

And the American government makes the British government seem honest and can achieve moments of nucking futness that take my breath away. Needless to say anything revealed by them can be taken with a huge great MINE full of salt. I don't believe a word they say.

So all in all the sheer untrustworthiness and capacity of deceit displayed by all parties leaves me incapable of taking any kind of position. The only thing I can sum up with is: They're all bastards and people are going to die before this whole idiocy is over
