Well, I'm glad they're upset! Thanks for posting these pix.
Update on the chick prisoner:
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Iran's foreign minister backed off a prediction that a detained British servicewoman could be freed Wednesday or Thursday but said Tehran agreed to allow British officials to meet with 15 sailors and Marines in Iranian custody.
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said in an interview with the Associated Press that Britain must admit that its sailors entered Iranian waters for the standoff to be resolved.
The expedient thing to do is to make the false admission, get the sailors out, and then bomb the crap out of them.
We don't want to do that while they're holding hostages.
Now, will the UK lie and say that they were in Iranian waters? I don't think so.
But I wouldn't have a problem with them doing so if they join in military action within a couple of days of the hostages release.
It would be a nice way of saying their apology was "just joking..."
I'll believe England is serious when I see tens of thousands of young men flocking to the colours to enlist and not before.
Thanks !

I'd forgotten she was a mother. Horrific. But in a way, I think it may be a good thing that Iran has overstepped.
I was told by someone that the BBC had been down playing this entire story; there's no doing that now.
Thanks for the headlines. Keep us up-to-date on the "man in the street."
This is helping to protray our democrats for the mice they are. All they can say on ANY military action, ANYWHERE, is they're going to cower and shiver under their blankets.
I hope NATO nations are preparing for war, and not even bothering with the UN.
England needs to respond with overwhelming force, and know she's backed up.
Good post, thanks.
I'm impressed by the pluck of this gal. She had guts to shoulder a rifle and stand ready on a speed boat in those waters.
