Does Pepe really begin to think that the Brits would prefer the usual Iranian techniques over the Abu Ghraib "horrors"???

i don't recall recent instances of iranian torture. You guys on the other hand seem particularly apt at it. What a fun contest you are suggesting.

You don't recall because you rely on the MSM for your "information", and their lack of interest is your lack of interest. However, if you actually searched things out for yourself, you would discover that in the last year dozens of students and other "dissidents" have died during/after interrogation in the last year, just in Tehran alone. Including a canadian citizen who had returned to Iran to visit relatives, was arrested on charges of anti-government activities while in Canada, and died after torture in jail. The Mullahs denied torture, however the doctors who picked up her body to bring it to the Canadian embassy for return to her family here indicated extensive injuries.
Yes, let's make a fun game out of it. You get two weeks of the Tehran variety. I get two weeks of the Abu Ghraib variety. And afterwards I'll drink some Dom Perignon over your grave

Unless of course you happen to be treated like these poor Dilawar at Bagram airbase, in which case we'd be tied.

This is revolting. The British soldiers were in uniform, part of the armed forces of a sovereign state (the UK), doing their business in the territorial waters of another sovereign state (Iraq), where they are legally stationed. Whereupon they were grabbed at gunpoint by the Army of a state intruding in the territorial waters of a neighboring state. Be that as it may, the British soldiers are covered 100% by the Geneva Conventions. If the bastards touch even a hair on them, it's as clear cut a casus belli as it gets. As for the debased parallel Pepe is trying to insinuate (as regards the United States' treatment of unlawful combattants, not covered by the Geneva Conventions), I will not dignify it with a response. Have you no sense of decency, at long last?

And since you are again about to characterize my position as supportive of the mullahs, i'll state that it does now seem that, after the almost comical coordinate fiasco, the britts were not in iranian waters, and the arrests were unwarranted.

If even a modicum of the shit Pepe whines about Gitmo was true, he'd have been locked up by now, and they'd have car batteries hooked up to his French gonads. Yes, a disturbing mental image on so many levels.
