Mind you, she could have been smoking a ciggie at the time, and those smoke signals would have caused a distraction.

That would would be a turn-up for the books. As for the Peanuthead. I think from his recent anti-semitic outbursts, he's probably joined the American Nazi Party. And to think he was US President.

How we use it at this stage remains to be seen. It seems the boundary of these waters are "fuzzy", according to what I heard on Newsnight. Iran is trying to give out positive messages right now, let's hope they mean it. Q9,I would say we must do all we can to find where they are being held, knowledge is power.

Is that war talk - wasn't that possibly how or why the 15 were captured. People who casually talk about sending the SAS or comandoes to 'liberate' prisoners, clearly have no idea of the realities of geography, or diplomacy. This is not the Falklands, albeit Iran doesn't have much of a navy it has a more serious airforce than Argentina ever had. And they are not short on men with 'guts' either. If I were to use 'military answers' instead of diplomacy or the rule of law to sort out some of the lesser mortals who have pissed me off, or abused their positions of authority - the crematorium would be doing overtime.

Makes situation worse, FCO stuck. Now FCO gets blame! The issue here is No 10 policy development over the pragmatic FCO. I have not seen Blair listen to the FCO, even Straw got fed up with his attitude to it. No 10 does not trust the FCo and makes it own sofa policy.

Makes situation worse, FCO stuck.
