I don't understand why it has taken so long to get them back. Give an ultimatum. If they don't comply, go get them back. Is it that hard? I can't imagine fighting and giving years of my life for my country, only to have to go though what they are going through while nothing is seemingly being done.

>This bothers me a LOT. Even with our recent history with torture techniques, Iran far SURPASSES the U.S. in torture techniques. There is NO comparison. Get real. Doesn't excuse the U.S. for Gitmo and Iraq, but it does NOT give Iran a free pass either. There is not a question the sailors are being manipulated to confess something they did NOT do. Manipulated is putting it far far too mildly...

>>Technically, and using the same spiteful excuses your country uses, they are not at war, so there are no war prisoners therefore you can not apply the Geneva convention.

>>Let me guess, next you will complain Iran tortures prisoners.
