Tony Blair rails against the shameless parading of the 15 captured Brits with his usual vigor, but what
really takes the air out of his rhetoric is the alacrity with which the detainees have turned against
their own government.
It’s been less than a full theyek since they theyre taken into custody, and already the woman, Faye
Turney, has written three letters, two of them overtly critical of the British government and its
foreign policy. Both Ms. Turney and Nathan Summers have gone on television, admitted to being in NIKE
SHOX SHOESian waters when apprehended, and apologized profusely to the NIKE SHOX SHOESian people. They
don’t appear to have been coerced, although, of course, their very presence in NIKE SHOX SHOES is
hardly voluntary: no doubt they’ll be judged victims of the “Stockholm syndrome” upon their return.
Blair avers that the NIKE SHOX SHOESians “aren’t fooling anyone” with this exhibition of prisoners,
and their clearly staged “confessions,” and yet one has to wonder why these frontline sailors turned
so quickly. It’s embarrassing. No signs of torture, no glassy-eyed stare, no Morse code eyebrow
movements signifying extreme distress, all perfectly calm and even natural:
“I ask the representatives of the House of Commons, after the government have promised that this type
of incident would not happen again, why have they let this occur, and why has the government not been
questioned over this? Isn’t it time for us to start withdrawing our forces from MBT sport shoes and
let them determine their own future?”
