Are they detaining them as illegal combatants?
Blair convenes Cobra team as crisis in Iran escalatesTHE official notification, delivered in secure calls yesterday morning to senior Whitehall figures, was the latest dramatic behind-the-scenes move to get to grips with a crisis that is now engulfing the government.
After a day of shadow-boxing with a notoriously slippery regime, Tony Blair is set to up the ante: the plight of the Shatt al-Arab 15 is officially a crisis and he will need the Cobra team to handle it.
The clutch of VIPs will gather in an operations room several floors below Downing Street as early as this afternoon to plot an escape from a military spat that now threatens to become an international incident.
Are they detaining them as illegal combatants?

Report: Iran ordered abductions to avenge defections
Iranian sources said the IRGC abducted British sailors in Shatt Al Arab on March 23 to retaliate for the defection of senior Iranian officials and officers. They said IRGC has blamed Britain and the United States for the defections of senior members of the Quds Brigade.
"IRGC has been fuming over the recent defections and has been looking for ways to respond," an Iranian source said.

I hope you're kidding.
They should rename the "View" to "Moonbat's View"
On the March 26 edition of "The View," co-host Rosie O’Donnell discussed the Iranian seizure of British sailors. Rosie again gave out false information on national television and implied that this may be a hoax so to provide the president with an excuse to go to war.
"But interesting with the British sailors, there were 15 British sailors and Marines who apparently went into Iranian waters and they were seized by the Iranians. And I have one thing to say: Gulf of Tonkin, Google it. Okay."

Blair has stated strongly that they did not go into Iranian waters. This is an irrational act of aggression to retaliate for some of their people defecting. It's irrational, but so are they. The Iranians may get more than they bargained for.
They're called hostages...
all hail the new chimperor!!!!!
'A Very Distressing Time'Relatives of one of the 15 British service personnel held captive in Iran have spoken of their anguish.
Faye Turney, 26, was the only woman among the UK marines and sailors seized last Friday.
Just asking.I hope you're kidding.
