So you think the Iranian government put them up in a nice room and treated them kindly, and that they just asked the hostages nicely to do these videos and the hostages said yes? Is that what you REALLY think?
and I'm pointing out that "hypocrite!" is a weak argument.
It's not an argument - it is a statement of fact.
I don't know, and neither do you. As I've said, though, the "confessions" came in a short amount of time and with no visible evidence of harm. Usually it is considered manly/courageous to "hold out" against torture (which we don't even know took place here), and unmanly/uncourageous not to. A synonym for that would be "wimpy".

Ok, it's a statement of fact. One which does nothing whatsoever to refute the point Derb was making.
