Later Mr Blairs spokesman said the different phase referred to a different way of handling talks, which may involve making public the reasons why Britain was certain the 15 were in Iraqi waters.

We may have to get to the stage where we become more explicit about why we know.
We dont want to do that too soon because we would prefer this to be resolved quietly. If this is not possible, we may have to become more explicit. Thats all he meant. He didnt mean anything else.
Very explict.
Stop, or I'll yell stop again! ...Ah, Brave Sir Tony...
