A confession made under duress is not a confession.

How do you get people to confess then?  Give them a lolly pop?

Do you think the sailors weren't threatened?

Yes.

Totally ridiculous, I guess you really like death. You would have preferred the possible death of the sailors and the inevitable deaths a military strategy would no doubt incur just so as you could take out some Iranians ...unbelievable attitude.

This is similar to the "confessions" of that shiekh we've held captive for a while now.

The soldiers are being put up to say these things.  Ahmadinejad is doing his best to turn this into a spectacle.

Basically, he's the Jerry Springer of world leaders....

I agree, these confessions aren't worth the paper they're written on. They're no better than Guantanamo bay confessions in my opinion.

I agree, because God knows what I might admit to, if the Easterly direction was kept hidden from me.

agreed.

What does that have to do with Iran and UK prisoners?

The American press is responsible for sensationalizing our prisoners, not our government, just like they are doing with the UK soldiers.

Uh-huh.  Which is why the US paraded Saddam Hussein, and why they keep on extracting confessions (kinda like making British sailors admit to being in Iranian waters, no?).

They beat the shit outta Saddam??!!...the US paraded him???!!!.......links please

It was Britain that paraded Saddam in his Y fronts in the media!!!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/4567687.stm I'm sure there are plenty more links too

EDIT: It was a US troop that leaked the photo though if I'm not mistaken.

First thing I read was the US condemning this action. That resolves the parading issue. Now how about the beating issue?? I didn't read the whole article was the beatings by the US exposed in this article??

I don't think Saddam was subjected to beatings, I think he was probably too high profile to risk that. The Abu Ghraib fiasco was probably the most damning example of US maltreatment of POWs and that can't really be contested seen as prosecutions have been made against some of the soldiers involved.

'Confessions' are extracted at Guantanamo bay also. David Hicks the Australian Guantanamo captive was made to sign an agreement that he would not accuse the US of maltreatment in return for being allowed to serve a fixed term back in Australia.

I don't see any bruises on the marines, and I'm sure we both saw the videos of Saddam's doctor visit.
