I'm a bit surprised that the biggest news topic of the week isn't being discussed on accyweb (unless I've missed the thread
)
The actions of the Iranian "regime" over the last few days, IMHO, are tantamount to saying "OI, YOU, OUTSIDE NOW!"
To have held these personnel captive for longer than a week now, without consular or legal access, and then parading them on television with glib "confessions" is unacceptable.
What is more shameful has been the hand-wringing actions of the UN and the lack of any firm resolve from the US .... And now we have Margaret Beckett saying the the situation is "regrettable"
If these personnel were genuinely not in Iranian waters, that's not the language which should be coming from our leaders!
