Tony Blair rails against the shameless parading of the 15 captured Brits with his usual vigor

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?”
