ROYAL MARINE BASE CHIVENOR, England – British sailors and marines held for nearly two weeks in Iran were blindfolded, bound and threatened with prison if they did not say they had strayed into Iranian waters, a Royal Navy lieutenant who was among the capitives said Friday.

Lt. Felix Carman, safely home with his 14 colleagues, said the crew faced harsh interrogation by their Iranian captors and slept in stone cells on piles of blankets. Unable to see and kept isolated, they heard weapons cocking.
“We were blindfolded, our hands were bound and we were forced up against a wall. Throughout our ordeal we faced constant psychological pressure,” Carman said. “All of us were kept in isolation. We were interrogated most nights and presented with two options. If we admitted that we’d strayed, we’d be on a plane to (Britain) pretty soon. If we didn’t, we faced up to seven years in prison.”
Isn’t it a sad day when the president of Iran appears more diplomatic then the president of the US?

Ha!…that’s what I said the other day! That he has more class than Bush. You can tell just by looking. I like the Iranian and think he’s cool! Too bad we couldn’t switch. Posted by Ugly Betty in response to Chi’s question above.
